Analysis of Rollover Shape and Energy Storage and Return in Cantilever Beam-Type Prosthetic Feet
(ASME International, 2014-08)This paper presents an analysis of the rollover shape and energy storage and return in a prosthetic foot made from a compliant cantilevered beam. The rollover shape of a prosthetic foot is defined as the path of the center ... -
Effects of Prosthesis Mass on Hip Energetics, Prosthetic Knee Torque, and Prosthetic Knee Stiffness and Damping Parameters Required for Transfemoral Amputees to Walk With Normative Kinematics
(ASME International, 2014-08)We quantify how the hip energetics and knee torque required for an above-knee prosthesis user to walk with the kinematics of able-bodied humans vary with the inertial properties of the prosthesis. We also select and optimize ... -
Development of a Design Tool for Flow Rate Optimization in the Tata Swach Water Filter
(ASME International, 2014-08)When developing a first-generation product, an iterative approach often yields the shortest time-to-market. In order to optimize its performance, however, a fundamental understanding of the theory governing its operation ...
