A Survey in the Different Designs and Control Systems of Powered Exoskeleton for Lower Extremities
Journal Title: Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Biomechanics - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
In this paper, previous studies in powered exoskeleton and their contributions in the field of robotics technology are presented, together with their corresponding control system. Specific problems and issues that were encountered and the solutions made to resolve the problems will be discussed. Gait cycle analysis and human body dynamic model will also be covered in the study to understand the biomechanics and the dynamics behind human walking.

XFEM simulation on mixed-mode fatigue crack growth of functionally graded materials
In present study, XFEM simulation has been carried out to investigate the fatigue life of a functionally graded material (FGM) made of aluminum alloy and alumina (ceramic) under cyclic mixed mode loading. Effect of prese...
Assessment of different drill diameter on bone drilling
Drilling is a highly demanding machining process due to drill bit geometries complexity and the progressive material failure on the workpiece. When applied to living tissues the process assumes greater attention to ensur...
Effects of thermal treatment on mechanical properties and grain size of en8 steel
Steels are generally thermally (heat) treated in order to achieve desirable changes in their microstructure and mechanical properties. The Effects of heat treatment cycles on the microstructure and some mechanical proper...
Exhaust gas recirculation (egr) – effective way to reduce NOx emissions
This paper gives insight into usage of water cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) for a twin cylinder direct injection compression ignition engine to reduce oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emission from engine exhaust. Differ...
Computational modelling and mesh independence studies for the investigation of thermal conductivity behaviour for aluminium hybrid composites
The thermal characterization of composite materials has been increasingly important in a wide range of applications. Thermal conductivity is one of the most important properties of metal matrix composites. Since nearly a...
