Abstract:
In this project, conceptual and detailed designs of a knee prosthesis constraint testing machine were performed based on ASTM F1223-20 standard. Conceptual and detailed mechanical and electrical design of machine and parts were performed based on common engineering practice and standards. Parts were carefully manufactured and controlled for quality assurance. The machine was then assembled and checked for proof of performance. A plc program was written as machine software. A comprehensive user interface was coded on computer for performing various tests, which can command the machine and view the required data in a graphical environment. Finally, simple experiments were designed and performed to validate the machine accuracy and performance
