Student Researchers' Society Topics

Aim: Modelling the bones, muscles, cartilage and ligaments of any chosen joint. Animation of joint movement according to anthropometric values. Finite element analysis, comparison of simulation results with literature values.

Skills, prior knowledge: 3D mesh modelling and sculpting (Blender), finite element simulations (Ansys, nTop or similar).

Development and testing of different structures for conductive ABS and TPU composites using 3D printing technology to optimise strain sensors for later preclinical applications such as prosthetic fittings or ulcer detection.

Skills, prior knowledge: Basic mechanical and electrical knowledge.

Construction of a heatable container and thermostat, in which the testing samples would be keep on body temperature during the test time. The container shape needs to be compatible the Zwick/Roell test machines. And the heating circulation has to be isolate from the container, that the tank can be filled any material.

Skills, prior knowledge: Basic mechanical and electrical knowledge.
