WELCOME

The 8th Annual Biomechanics Symposium will be on the 17th September 2012. Keep checking our website: further details and a theme will be posted soon.

Thank you to everyone who attended or presented at our 7th annual Biomechanics Symposium on the 19th September last year. We look forward to hosting you all again later in the year.

The Centre for Orthopaedic Biomechanics was established in 2001 and provides a resource for multidisciplinary research providing a bridge between Engineering and Clinical Orthopaedics. The Centre has a large number of collaborative research activities with other academic and clinical institutions and orthopaedic surgeons in the UK and Europe and strong collaborative research activities with major international orthopaedic and medical device companies.

In addition to supporting a wide range of PhD student projects the Centre also hosts short term visiting researchers undertaking research projects associated with other institutions and offers a resource for preclinical validation of devices for the Orthopaedic and Medical Device Industry.

The Centre has excellent laboratory facilities to support experimental research projects. These include specimen preparation and material characterisation facilities, a Rheometer, several servo-hydraulic and screw driven materials testing machines, spinal and knee kinematic test rigs. In addition, access within the Department of Mechanical Engineering to other facilities such as rapid prototyping and advanced manufacturing processes and in the near future access to a Micro-CT scanner and Laser Vibrometer.
