Abstract

In recent years, significant improvements in the design of leg blade prosthetics have been carried out. After several advances in material and topological optimisations, sport-purpose feet prosthetics have reached high-level performances, allowing athletes with limb loss to participate in various sport activities at a competitive level. Since the knowledge of prosthetic mechanical behaviour is crucial for its optimal design, specific studies are required to meet the anthropometric characteristics of the athlete. This research work is focused on investigating the dynamic behaviour of a running blade prosthetic and developing a validated prosthetic model, placing particular emphasis on the definition of suitable material properties. An experimental modal analysis is performed on the Cheetah Xcel, Össur lower limb prosthetic. In contrast with what has already been presented in the literature, a roving hummer test under free–free conditions is proposed here to avoid the uncertainties due to constraint conditions. For the first time, blade prosthetic dynamic characteristics in free–free conditions are presented. Additionally, a novel Finite Element model of the prosthetic is developed and tuned on the basis of the experimental results. The modal assurance criterion index is exploited to compare experimental and numerical mode shapes. Starting from frequency response functions, the first six mode shapes are experimentally identified in the frequency range up to 750 Hz, including both bending and torsion. As expected, the bending in the vertical plane constitutes the primary mode shape: this kind of flexion enhances energy storage, enabling athletes to achieve an optimal running gait. This study shows the dynamic modal behaviour of a lower limb prosthetic in free–free conditions and demonstrates that a traditional isotropic material is not suitable in describing its dynamic features. The development of a model that exploits orthotropic material properties improves the alignment between experimental and numerical outcomes. This result is in agreement with the material composition of the prosthetic, which consists of carbon fibre layers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The growth of e-scooter users on the urban micromobility over the past years has been such that the study of this vehicle is gaining more and more importance thus opening many branches of study. This paper intends to present a detailed study of the user comfort while riding an electric scooter through an exhaustive experimentation and the consequent creation of a mathematical model that simulates the e-scooter dynamics. The thesis is organized as follows. First, a thorough overview of the electric scooter will be presented. This contains a definition of the vehicle with an enumeration of its advantages and disadvantages, a brief story of its evolution, a comparison with other powered micromobility devices, a depiction of the different elements that form an e-scooter and a description of the specific model used throughout the study. Second, an explanation of the experiments carried out and the aim of every and each of them is detailed. While one of the experiments allowed to study the influence of the vibration on human comfort, another one permitted to study the vehicle’s braking response. On the other hand, a couple of other tests helped to create the mathematical model. Next, an explanation of the data acquisition system can be found. The data acquirement was done thanks to the proper configuration of a SCADA-XS device and the appropriate disposition of the sensors: a GPS and four accelerometers. Afterwards, a preliminary study followed by an in-depth analysis are deeply exposed. Meanwhile the first one verified the rightfulness of the data acquired by the sensors to later process it, the second one post-processed the data by varying the survey according to the final aim of the corresponding experiment. Last but not least, the mathematical model created thanks to the data extracted from the study is showcased. Finally, conclusions from this research are drawn
