Machines: Problem Solving II

589
Machines are complex structures consisting of movable, pin-connected multi-force members that work together to transmit forces. Consider a lifting tong carrying a 100 kg load. It comprises movable sections DAF and CBG linked together with member AB.

Stability of structures01:14

Stability of structures

395
In mechanical engineering, the stability of systems under various forces is critical for designing durable and efficient structures. One fundamental way to explore these concepts is by analyzing systems like two rods connected at a pivot point, O, with a torsional spring of spring constant k at the pivot point. This system is similar in appearance to a scissor jack used to change tires on a car. In this case, the arms of the linkage (equivalent to the rods in this system) are entirely vertical,...

Normal and Tangetial Components: Problem Solving

511
Consider a man with a mass of 70 kg seated in a chair connected to a pin support through a member BC. If the man maintains an upright position, the task is to determine the horizontal and vertical reactions of the chair on the man when the member makes a 45° angle with the horizontal. At this moment, the man has a speed of 5 m/s, increasing at a rate of 1 m/s².

Applications of Stress

554
Consider a structure made of a boom and a rod designed to support a load. These two components are connected by a pin and stabilized by brackets and pins. The boom and the rod are detached from their supports to assess the different stresses imposed on this structure, and a free-body diagram is drawn. Then, all the forces applied, including the load acting on the structure, are identified. The reaction forces exerted on both the boom and the rod are computed using the equilibrium equations.

Support Reactions in Three Dimensions01:27

Support Reactions in Three Dimensions

1.5K
Support reactions in three dimensions help maintain the stability and equilibrium of various structures and systems. These reactions prevent the system from translating and rotating, ensuring the design can withstand external forces and perform its intended function efficiently and safely. Some of the supports providing support reactions in three dimensions are discussed below:
Ball and Socket Joint is one of the supports allowing free rotation about any axis. This freedom of rotation is...

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Rehabilitation Engineering
  • Human-Robot Interaction

Background:

  • Lower-limb exoskeletons assist individuals with spinal cord injury or hemiplegia.
  • Current designs utilize straps and baffles for stability, but can cause skin abrasions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the ergonomic design of the AIDER lower-limb exoskeleton.
  • To measure interaction forces between the human body and the AIDER system.

Main Methods:

  • Eight healthy subjects tested the AIDER system.
  • Pressure sensors measured interaction forces at the waist, thighs, shanks, and crutch handles.
  • Comfort questionnaires were administered post-testing.

Main Results:

  • Peak pressure on hand-crutch interfaces approached the pain-pressure threshold (PPT).
  • Average pressure intensities remained below the PPT.
  • Overall interaction forces suggest potential for skin abrasion.

Conclusions:

  • The AIDER exoskeleton's mechanical structure and control strategy require enhancement for improved ergonomics.
  • Further development is necessary to mitigate risks of skin abrasions and ensure user comfort.
