Biomechanics FAQ

April 23, 2020 by Stephanie Jue

In the field of biomechanics, mechanical engineering principles are applied to understand materials and behaviors of the body. For example, fluid flow through pipes is a simple analogy for blood flow through veins and arteries. While a large pipe network might roughly describe the cardiovascular system, such analogies allow for a plethora of real-world applications. […]
