Eberhardt Research Web Site

Our research focuses on orthopedic and injury biomechanics, through experimental testing and finite element modeling, as well as tribology and materials testing. These research activities serve as important steps toward our long-term objective of optimal care for orthopedic patients and improved protection for occupants in motor vehicle side impacts. The EBC is also committed to training undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers as future biomedical engineers for careers in orthopedic and injury biomechanics. In addition to our primary research we also help with the School of Engineering’s Capstone Design Course activities.
