Calculation of wear (f.i. wear modulus) in the plastic cup of a hip joint prosthesis [PDF]
The wear equation is applied to the wear process in a hip joint prosthesis and a wear modulus is defined. The sliding distance, wear modulus, wear volume, wear area, contact angle and the maximum normal stress were calculated and the theoretical ...

Automated Forearm Prosthesis Controlling Using Fiber Bragg Grating Sensor [PDF]
This paper describes the automation of a forearm prosthesis using the signal collected by a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor. The FBG sensor is applied to one subject's forearm to measure the deformation as a result of the index and middle fingers when ...
