Presentation
The Biomechanics course of the Master of Mechanics is at the interface between technological and health sciences. It allows us to respond to the major challenges of tomorrow, both in terms of medical devices (prostheses, endoprostheses, implants of all kinds, etc.), but also in terms of understanding the couplings between living organisms and their mechanical environment at different observation scales.
Objectives
The training aims to train senior R&D managers in the fields of biomechanics, particularly in engineering and health technology companies (e.g. orthopedics, disability care, rehabilitation centers with motion analysis rooms, etc.), but also in transportation (e.g. user protection, ergonomics, etc.) and sports (sports performance (data scientist), etc.), as well as in the academic and hospital research sectors.
Know-how and skills
In addition to the general organizational, relational and scientific skills of a master's level, the course provides disciplinary skills such as:
- Master the current techniques in the field of mechanical engineering: dimensioning of parts stressed in tension, compression, shear, torsion and bending
- Master the current models of biomechanics
- Integrate the industrial design component in 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
