“…Figure 11 displays the plot of force vs displacement in the foot end, the experimental and numerical results are compared with good agreement. The result of the Figure 11 differs from most similar investigations on orthoses and foot prostheses (Ali et al , 2021; Rochlitz et al , 2018; Steck et al , 2023; Avila et al , 2021; Vijayan et al , 2020). These investigations often use FEM analysis to calculate deformation and equivalent Von Mises stress, which is erroneous when applied to brittle and anisotropic materials, as demonstrated in the present research.…”

Purpose The purpose of this research is present an experimental and numerical study of the mechanical properties of the acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) in the additive manufacturing (AM) by fused filament fabrication (FFF). The characterization and mechanical models obtained are used to predict the elastic behavior of a prosthetic foot and the failure of a prosthetic knee manufactured with FFF. Design/methodology/approach Tension tests were carried out and the elastic modulus, yield stress and tensile strength were evaluated for different material directions. The material elastic constants were determined and the influence of infill density in the mechanical strength was evaluated. Yield surfaces and failure criteria were generated from the tests. Failures over prosthetic elements in tridimensional stresses were analyzed; the cases were evaluated via finite element method. Findings The experimental results show that the material is transversely isotropic. The elasticity modulus, yield stress and ultimate tensile strength vary linearly with the infill density. The stresses and the failure criteria were computed and compared with the experimental tests with good agreement. Practical implications This research can be applied to predict failures and improve reliability in FFF or fused deposition modeling (FDM) products for applications in high-performance industries such as aerospace, automotive and medical. Social implications This research aims to promote its widespread adoption in the industrial and medical sectors by increasing reliability in products manufactured with AM based on the failure criterion. Originality/value Most of the models studied apply to plane stress situations and standardized specimens of printed material. However, the models applied in this study can be used for functional parts and three-dimensional stress, with accuracy in the range of that obtained by other researchers. The researchers also proposed a method for the mechanical study of fragile materials fabricated by processes of FFF and FDM.

The following work is done to briefly outline what is mechatronics. Also, this term will be accompanied by the use of a manipulator with 7 degrees of freedom. In modern realities, the combination of different fields is inevitable, since the modern world requires complex and multi-tasking ideas. Mechatronics is a term used to describe the combination of different fields to maximize their potential. since the modern world requires complex and multi-tasking ideas. The paper shows that the use of mechatronics covers a wide range of activities. Similarly, a robotic arm with 7 degrees of freedom will be shown in terms of modelling and improvement. A model of a robotic arm will be presented with the introduction of additional movements, which will bring new possibilities to the system in terms of mobility. The main purpose of the study is to illustrate that 7 DOF robotic arm is a great example of mechatronics.

“…The results of comparison between different models aided in being able to have and design more efficient, intelligent, and sophisticated mechanical devices. Avila et al in [11] use generative cad and fem analysis approaches in hand with additive manufacturing to offer a methodology for the transtibial prosthesis design. This development sets a standard for the current research of transfemoral prosthesis.…”

This research aims to design, characterize, construct, and control a transfemoral prosthesis prototype with magneto-rheological damper to determine its functionality for aiding patients in Honduras. It was possible to design and control a transfemoral prosthesis prototype. Equally, the material (Aluminum) chosen, and the design that was presented meets the appropriate characteristics to resist a weight of an average person from Honduras of 80 kg, since a force of 400 N was applied in each of the parts.
