Abstract:
This course provides students with practical experience in testing and calculating of mechanical properties of materials.
Using various measurement equipment, the students apply topics learned in Material Science courses 1&2, and Strength of materials
1 about responses of materials to different types of mechanical loading and heat-treatments.
The students acquire knowledge of operating standard engineering
measurement equipment and deepen their understanding of material properties.Abstract:
Materials science applications in mechanical design, material structure, strengthening mechanisms, mechanical properties of materials (elastic properties, plastic and fracture), properties derived from engineering production processes, cold work processing versus hot work processing, general heat treatments (stress relief, annealing), weld failure preventing, dynamic properties, mechanical properties at high temperatures, the phase diagram. Steels - heat treatments and hardenability, surface hardening, and steal specifications. Aluminum alloys - Heat treatments, Temper designations, welding, coating, and processes.Abstract:
Introduction, the basis of growth and differentiation,
in vitro control of tissue development,
in vivo synthesis of tissues and organs and models for
tissue engineering. Transplantation of engineered cells and tissues, immunomodulation,
stem cells as a cell source for tissue engineering, gene therapy.
Tissue engineering of the cardiovascular, cartilage,
bone and the hematopoietic systems. Wound repair and engineering skin tissue.Abstract:
This course gives the student an introduction to the science of biomaterials, adaptation of implants to biological tissue (biocompatibility) and tissue compatibility tests, while providing examples from the orthopedics, dental field, and more.
The student will also acquire knowledge about techniques used to characterize materials and surface treatments that can be performed in order to increase the adaptation of the implant to the tissue.
In addition, the students will be exposed to parameters that must be taken into account, such as accepted sterilization methods, the suitability of the packaging material for the implant, corrosion processes in the body and solutions, degradation of materials in a biological environment, an examination of ethical and regulatory issues of medical devices in the development process, preliminary tests of the safety and effectiveness of the implant, and more.
Moreover, the course will expose the student for the first time to wet chemical work, safety rules and laboratory experience in the field of biomaterials.Abstract:
This course introduces the students with the field of materials science, in particular the relation between the microstructure and its final properties.
The main idea is that the func tion improvement of a component
depends on its properties, which depends on the microstructure
determined by processes. Suitable engineering planning will avoid failures.
Microstructure will be studied from the atomic phase through the crystallographic
and up to the macrostructure. The student will learn about characterization
of materials and standard tests. Physical and chemical aspects of
various phases will assist us in understanding the alloying
purpose and will help us in composition planning.
In addition, some ethical and regulatory issues will be discussed,
preliminary tests of safety and efficiency of the device and biocompatibility.Abstract:
The course includes lectures and visits to various industrial and medical centers.
During the course, the students will observe medical therapy based on medical
technologies in cardiology, obstetrics and more. The main themes are:
New technologies in CT, MRI, Nuclear Medicine, Hemodynamics func tion assessments,
Sleep research, Ultrasound imaging and therapy, Telemedicine. The course includes
visits in Insightech, Bioness, Given-Imaging, Odin medical technologies,
Shachal, Advanced technologies center – Sheba, Medical simulations center – Sheba,
Sleep research center – Ichilov, catheterization center – Sheba, Imaging institute – Sheba,
gynecological ultrasound unit - Meir, Nuclear Medicine.
The tours plan may change during the semester due to the hostess response.
