Laboratory of Mechanics of Biological Materials
Computational modeling based on mathematical and physical rules for the biomechanical evaluation of anatomical districts, in order to forecast surgical outputs or to mimic their interaction with clinical devices and prostheses.
In parallel with in silico methods, experimental activities are carried out for the mechanical characterization of biological tissues from micro to macroscale, as well as for materials applied in protheses.
