This seminar will show how computational engineering methods can assist biomedical engineers to design, develop and improve the performances of medical devices and drugs.
Practical case studies will provide an insight into state-of-the-art technologies and their application in the biomedical engineering field.
The following technologies will be discussed:
- Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
- Computational Molecular Dynamics (CMD)
- Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
The event will cover:
- Computational methods at the design/development stage and pre-clinical testing/regulatory stage of a new product
- State of the art computational techniques: FEA, CFD, Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), molecular dynamics simulations and mathematical optimisation
- Computational modelling of the mechanics of biological tissues and structures
- Computational modelling of mechanobiological processes: morphogenesis, growth, remodelling and healing
