Provide students with scientific concepts of mechanics of rigid bodies, which can be used to model and describe real biomedical systems. It is intended that students learn to apply these concepts as a tool in the analysis of systems used in biomedical applications, developing their capacity to study systems of multiple components in a rational and coherent manner.
The fundamental objective of curricular unit is to enable the student to be able to, from real biomedical systems subjected to loads, create a free body model that accurately describes its mechanical behaviour in static analysis. The student will be enabled to understand the essential aspects associated with dynamic analysis in simple systems, namely the fundamental concepts associated with the phenomena of vibration of the systems with 1 degree of freedom.
