Addressing Global Disparities in Prosthetic Mobility: An Experimental Evaluation of Ankle-Foot Orthosis for Sustainable and Efficient Integration with Vehicle Structures and Systems
Abstract: Over the past two decades, the prosthetic foot industry has made significant advancements, greatly enhancing the quality of life for individuals with lower limb amputations in industrialized countries. However, these innovations remain out of reach for many in less developed regions due to high costs, limited durability, maintenance demands, and accessibility challenges. There is an urgent need to develop highly functional, cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and resilient prosthetic feet that can …

Employee Well-Being: Deep Learning Approaches to Stress Detection
Abstract: Stress has become a major concern for employee health, productivity, and overall well-being in today's fast-paced work environment. It is a growing global issue, affecting both individual employees and the productivity of organizations. Work-related stress occurs when the demands of a job surpass an individual's ability to manage, whether because of long hours, overwhelming responsibilities, or other pressures. Factors such as conflicts with coworkers or supervisors, constant changes, and job …

Performance of Offshore Steel Jacket Platforms under Near-source Ground Motion Type Pulses
Abstract: Behaviour of jacket type offshore structures under ordinary ground excitations has already been addressed by a number of researchers. However, their performance under near-source ground excitations has not been particularly addressed in the literature. Records from recent earthquakes, such as the Kobe Japan (1995) and Chi-Chi Taiwan (1999), have revealed that the dynamic excitations in near-source are dominated by a large, narrow band and long period pulse caused by rupture …

Evolution of Kinematic and Dynamic Design in Robotic Mechanisms: A Systematic Overview
Abstract: The field of robotics has experienced significant advancements in both kinematic and dynamic design, driven by the growing need for precision, adaptability, and autonomy in mechanical systems. Early robotic mechanisms were predominantly rigid and operated based on simple serial architectures, offering limited degrees of freedom and relying heavily on analytical formulations for motion planning and control. Over time, the demand for greater dexterity and operational versatility led to the development …

Study on the Method of Prediction of Complete Inflation Time of Parachute
Abstract: In general, the parachute test is a long test period, expensive, and difficult to measure with accuracy, which makes it a very laborious and laborious task due to the strong nonlinearity of the fabric of the parachute. Therefore, attempts have been made to overcome this by using a parachute testbed or by simulation, but in our country, there is no numerical simulation of the parachute, and no research has been …

Design and Development of Electromagnetic Braking System Based on Electromagnetic Induction and Eddy Current
Abstract: In this paper, electromagnetic braking system has been developed that ensures passenger’s, driver’s and other road user’s safety and comfort. Most of the conventional braking system like mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic have certain limitations. In mechanical brake, erosion of the mechanical pads is carried out by frictional force and requires periodic replacement of the bearing. Fluid leakage in hydraulic and pneumatic could lead to brake failure and reduces the effectiveness of …

Gear-Related Stress Analysis and Comparison Between the Fem and Agma Standards
Abstract: In many different devices, gears enable the efficient transfer of motion and torque. They are an essential component of modern mechanical power transmission systems. It has been demonstrated that bending and surface contact stresses at the gear tooth are the primary causes of gear failure, despite their widespread use. Too much stress can lead to tooth wear, pitting, or breakage, which can ultimately reduce the operating life and reliability of …

Experimental Investigation on Thermal Conductivity and Viscosity of Phase Change Material (NaNOᴣ and KNOᴣ) with Different Concentrations of ZnO Polymer Nanofluids for Solar Energy Absorption
Abstract: When evaluating the effectiveness of solar heat absorption methods or solar thermal energy storage systems (TESS), heat transfer fluid is a crucial element. Thermal conductivity and usable heat obtained for any industrial or immediate power plant efficiency are improved by the distinctive refining of Heat Transfer Fluid (HFT). The phase change material used in this study, known as solar salt is a blend of 60% NaNO3 and 40% KNO3. It …
