This laboratory course provides students with practical knowledge of biomechanical tests and properties, including four-point bending tests, screw pull-out tests, compression tests, torsion tests, contact angle measurement, and atomic force microscopy experiments.

• Basic Biomechanics–Susan J. Hall
• Basic Biomechanics of the Musculoskeletal System – Margareta Nordin
• ASTM F543
• ASTM F2193
• ASTM F382

The aim of this course is to provide students with a general understanding of the structural behavior of biomaterials under mechanical forces, to teach them how to conduct biomechanical examinations of materials through experimental studies, to enable them to evaluate experimental results, and to develop their ability to present these findings in written form.

1. Understanding the structural behavior of biomaterials under mechanical forces.
2. Learning biomechanical testing methods through experimental studies, applying mechanical test procedures in conducted experiments, and collecting data.
3. Developing the ability to evaluate, analyze, and derive appropriate conclusions from experimental data.
4. Preparing scientific reports and presenting analysis results in accordance with scientific writing and referencing standards.
