Abstract

In this study, the static, kinematic and dynamic behaviors of a semi-active hand prosthesis were analyzed numerically. Finite Elements method was used in static analysis and analytical method was used in kinematic and dynamic analysis. The mathematical model of the hand was created in kinematic and dynamic analysis. Using the mathematical model obtained, torque values of 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90 degrees were calculated according to the different position angles of the fingers. Examination was performed for 4 fingers (index finger, middle finger, ring finger, little finger) and 5 kg of force was applied to the fingertips perpendicular to the finger plane. In this examination, the forces are divided into 25% for the index finger, 35% for the middle finger, 25% for the ring finger and 15% for the little finger. The results obtained for forces at different angles under the specified conditions were explained. As a result of all these stages, the prosthetic hand was designed. The design was calculated as linear statically by the finite element method. As a result of the study, a semi-active prosthetic hand was produced considering the calculation findings. Clear resin was used as material.
