Experimental Validation of the Lower Leg Trajectory Error, an Optimization Metric for Prosthetic Feet
In India alone, there are about one million people with lower limb amputation who require significantly more effort to walk than able-bodied individuals. They are subject to social stigmas preventing them from employment and independent living. There is a gap between the high-performance prosthetic feet in the United States that come at a cost of thousands of dollars and affordable prostheses i...
متن کاملContinuous Discrete Variable Optimization of Structures Using Approximation Methods
Optimum design of structures is achieved while the design variables are continuous and discrete. To reduce the computational work involved in the optimization process, all the functions that are expensive to evaluate, are approximated. To approximate these functions, a semi quadratic function is employed. Only the diagonal terms of the Hessian matrix are used and these elements are estimated fr...

متن کاملA Two Level Approximation Technique for Structural Optimization
This work presents a method for optimum design of structures, where the design variables can he considered as Continuous or discrete. The variables are chosen as sizing variables as well as coordinates of joints. The main idea is to reduce the number of structural analyses and the overal cost of optimization. In each design cycle, first the structural response quantities such as forces, displac...
