Performance of Athletic Prosthetic Feet Made of Various Composite Materials with PMMA Matrix: Numerical and Theoretical Study

Prosthetic upgrades are specialized prosthetics that enable patients to participate in more demanding recreational activities, such as running. This study examines the use of prosthetic limbs, specifically athletic foot. The current research focused on manufacturing and production properties an samples Foot made from composite materials based a polymethyl methacrylate resin (PMMA) reinforced with various fibers (UHMWPE, Perlon, Carbon fiber, Glass fiber). finite element method (ANSYS-19R) is used build model apply boundary conditions investigate influence deformation stored energy performance sports Six laminates have been manufactured, it has discovered adding number carbon fiber layers UHMWPE better effect than glass 26% improvement. Furthermore, findings show there improvement when classes was doubled, rate between laminate which were added 31%, by 32% under same conditions.
