051:083 BIOMECHANICAL DESIGN
Spring Semester 2004
2003 Catalog Data: 051:083 MWF 1:30 – 2:20 PM 3 s.h.
Description: This design course will focus on the inter-relationship between classical mechanical engineering design and the biomechanical constraints of the living human. Topics will investigate typical design scenarios and their associated biomechanics, selection of material, stress and functional analysis, failure criteria, fatigue analysis, and optimal design; case studies of biomechanical designs, computer-aided design methods, design of subsystems, and product liability. This course is designed to provide students with knowledge in practical design of mechanical elements used in bioengineering. The emphasis will be on theoretical aspects with practical examples from biomedical engineering. Topics will include basic concepts in mechanical design process, general techniques for improving the design quality including concurrent engineering concepts, regulatory and patent issues in design, the use of ProE for design, and reverse engineering. Guest lectures on various biomechanical design issues in biomechanical design topics will be presented too. There will be periodic assignments, unannounced quizzes, the use of an individual design note book, and a final examination, and a team project.
Textbooks: DG Ullman, “The Mechanical Design Process, 3rd Edition” McGraw-Hill (ISBN: 0-07-237338-5)
Instructor: Tae-Hong Lim, Biomedical Engineering
David Wilder, Biomedical Engineering
Nicole Grosland, Biomedical Engineering
Course Goals: At the completion of the course, the students will:
1. learn design process (identification of design problems, design, evaluation of the design, decision making, and final report);
2. learn various design techniques that help generate better quality designs in less time;
3. learn various techniques for objective decision making during the design process;
4. learn basic concepts of concurrent engineering;
5. learn safety and liability issues in design;
6. learn regulations in design (FDA, CE, UL, etc.) and patents;
7. understand the importance of communication of design data, such as book-keeping of individual design data, Product Development File as a team-project report, and oral presentations.
