Finite Element Analysis of the Rubber of the Prosthetic Knee Joint

Article Preview

Abstract:

Rubber played a buffer role in prosthetic knee motion. Rubber bearing is a very complicated process, and rubber material itself is nonlinear. ABAQUS software can able to deal with highly nonlinear problems. Input rubber test data in ABAQUS, selection of constitutive model, and then the finite element model is established, which is calculated, finally obtains compression under different loads.
