Head of Laboratory: RNDr. Josef Pražák, CSc.
In the Laboratory of Biomechanics we model the body as a thermodynamic system including the main function of blood circulation and the special effects given by the elasticity of blood vessel walls. We are also interested in the thermodynamic aspects of the chemical reactions which give the heart muscles its strength and the friction properties of joints and joint endoprotheses.
