Presentation
The Biomechanics track of the Master's degree in Mechanics is at the interface between technological and health sciences. It enables us to meet tomorrow's major challenges, both in terms of medical devices (prostheses, endoprostheses, implants of all kinds, etc.), and in terms of understanding the coupling between living organisms and their mechanical environment at different observation scales.
Objectives
The course is designed to train senior R&D managers in the field of biomechanics, in particular for engineering and health technology companies (e.g. orthopedics, disability care, rehabilitation centers with motion analysis rooms, etc.), but also for the transport (e.g. user protection, ergonomics, etc.) and sports (sports performance (data scientist), etc.) sectors, as well as for academic and hospital research.
Know-how and skills
In addition to the general organizational, interpersonal and scientific skills required at Master's level, the pathway enables students to acquire disciplinary skills such as:
- Master current mechanical engineering techniques: dimensioning of parts subjected to tensile, compressive, shear, torsional and flexural stresses
- Master current biomechanical models
- Integrate the industrial design component into the design phase, interact with designers
- Integrate numerical tools, through the use of different calculation codes, to solve biomechanical problems
- Master the behavior of materials mainly used in medical devices
- Master basic health concepts
