Prosthetic legs (PL) are mainly used to perform leg amputations more easily. The design and performance of these legs mainly depend on the material selection and manufacturing methods. In the present study, alternative materials are considered for PL such as Al alloy, Ti alloy, Uni directional Carbon fiber epoxy (UDCFE), and combined composite material (CF, UDCFE and Ti alloy) to perform static and fatigue analysis . Static analysis was performed under four different load conditions 60 kg,70 kg, 80 Kg and 90 kg. Fatigue analysis was done under low cycle fatigue conditions. Theoretical calculations are evaluated at various inclinations of the foot 10°, 20°, and 30° with the ground. The results obtained theoretically are compared with Ansys results. The best material which gives the lesser value of deformation and lower damage factor is selected for the design. Further, experimental studies were suggested based on the results obtained from this work.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
