Structural Aspects of Biomaterials (Spring 2007)
UC Berkeley - ME C117/BioEngineering - Structural Aspects of Biomaterials (Spring 2007). This consists of 27 video lectures given by Professor Lisa Pruitt. This course provides an overview of medical devices, FDA regulatory issues, biocompatibility and sterilization technology. It examines biomechanical properties: isotropy/anisotropy, stiffness, bending stresses, contact stresses, multiaxial loading, plasticity, fatigue, fracture, wear, corrosion, design issues. Also covered: Orthopedics, Dental, Cardiovascular, and Soft Tissue Reconstruction.
