Joakim Holmberg

Associate Professor, Docent

I teach mechanics and musculoskeletal biomechanics classes and carry out research in biomechanics using finite element and musculoskeletal simulations. Main topics are orthopedic biomechanics and skiing for both non-disabled and para athlethes.

Research

Biomechanics

What is the optimal pole technique in cross-country skiing? Why does the blood pressure increase with age? These questions and many more can be answered by applying fundamental principles from mechanics and thermodynamics. It´s done in biomechanics.

Skiing becomes pure mechanics in his research

How do a skier's movements work? Which technique is the best? Biomechanics researcher Joakim Holmberg has studied this. Using mathematical calculations, he was able to follow how the force was distributed for each push of the ski poles.

Organisation

Division of Solid Mechanics (SOLMEK)

Mechanics is one of the fundamentals of engineering science. It deals with motion and equilibrium of bodies. Solid mechanics considers all aspects of the behavior of deformable bodies under loads.
