BME FINAL EXAM Biomechanics and
Biomaterials Questions & Answers
(Grade A+)
What is Biomechanics? -
correct answer ✅The study of mechanical laws relating to the
movement or structure of living organisms
(taking these mechanical laws and applying them to living
organisms)
What are some questions that can be answered using
biomechanics? -
correct answer ✅-How does a new artificial heart valve design
affect blood flow?
-How do bone cells respond increase compression?
Complete the graphic Organizer -
correct answer ✅
What is the difference between rigid bodies and deformable
bodies? -
correct answer ✅-rigid bodies is the relationship between external
forces; all particles remain fixed when external force is applied (an
assumption)
, BME FINAL EXAM Biomechanics and
Biomaterials Questions & Answers
(Grade A+)
-deformable bodies: the relationship between external forces and
internal changes; particles DO NOT remain fixed when external
force is applied
Define statics -
correct answer ✅The study of rigid bodies at rest or moving with
constant velocity
(Newton's 1st Law; equilibrium= no acceleration= no net force)
Define dynamics -
correct answer ✅The study of rigid bodies accelerating
(acceleration does not equal 0)
Define static analysis -
correct answer ✅rigid bodies at rest or moving in constant velocity
