Abstract

Mechanical assembly requires joint mechanism involving fasteners and holes. Deformation of the holes will greatly affect the integrity of the mechanical joins. This research objective is to reveal the strain behavior of jute/polyester composite containing open hole under axial loading. It is very important to know the behavior of the strain surrounding the hole under loading. Experiments were carried out by preparing jute/polyester composites. The composites were manufactured by using a vacuum infusion method. There are two configurations of the number of laminations, i.e., 3 and 5 sheets and of hole sizes, i.e., 5 and 10mm holes. An axial load is applied to the specimen through a tensile test. Strain gauges are attached near the holes, axially and laterally. Strain in axial and lateral directions in the vicinity of a hole is recorded and presented. The research result shows that the strain gauges located parallel to the loading axis indicate a positivestrain value. On the other hand, the strain gauges located lateral to the loading axis indicate a negative value. Furthermore, the strain gauges located beside the hole in the direction parallel to the loading axis indicate the highest strain value in all types of specimens.

Abstract

The model of compliant prosthetic ankle-foot is proposed as an alternative prosthetic aid for people with disabilities to do activities. The model is designed and analyzed to determine its strength and feasibility before being fabricated. The two main stages in this research are model design and model analysis. The shape of the model was designed with several elastic cavities and arches using the concept of a compliant mechanism. Finite element analysis (FEA) was performed on the prosthetic model when the stance phase on the mechanism of the human gait cycle. Because the prosthetic foot area is in contact with the ground on this cycle phase. Three main positions in 0-64% of the gait cycle are heel strike, midstance, and toe-off positions used as boundary conditions. The amount of load given adjusts the bodyweight percentage of the gait cycle with a reference of 80 kg. The direction of loading was by following the angle of the foot when dorsiflexion to plantarflexion during the stance phase. The biggest deformation results occurred in the toe-off position with two peak cycles of 4.69 mm and 4.45 mm at 17% and 51% of the gait cycle. While the smallest deformation occurred in the midstance position with an average of 0.08 mm. Because it used fixed support with two pedestals on the soles of the prosthetic. Maximum stress occurred in the toe-off position of 16.45 MPa at 17% of the gait cycle. With a safety factor of 1.63, the value is still safe because it is below the yield strength value of ABS material. While the largest strain of energy was located in the lower area in the middle of the arch between the toe and sole foot in the toe-off position of 3.55 mJ.

Abstract

One of the rehabilitation alternatives for fingers injuries is to use a finger splint. Some existing finger splint models still use excessive material, and the size is not appropriate. The purpose of this study was to propose a customized sleeve finger splint model with a conical shape along with the finger surface from the proximal phalanges to the distal phalanges. Design optimization using topology optimization was carried out to reduce mass and volume while maintaining the stress strength of the model. The stages of the method in this research were modeling design, preprocessing analysis, topology optimization, and postprocessing analysis. Topology optimization design was set with 70% mass in response constraint. The analysis results showed a significant reduction in the model mass of 42.18%, from 6.78 grams to 3.92 grams. Meanwhile, the maximum equivalent stress increased slightly by 3.42%, from 8.12 MPa to 8.4 MPa. Even though there was an increase in equivalent stress after topology optimization, the sleeve finger splint model was still categorized as safe, with a safety factor of 3.39.
