Design Process Problem Background Research Requirements Solutions Development Work Prototype Test and Redesign

Design: Biomaterials Variables Application: Structural, Therapeutic Location: Skeletal, Circulatory, Nervous Systems Duration: Patient life, Minutes

Design: Biomaterials Metals Ceramics Polymers Composites

Design: Mechanics Complex Analysis – Simple Motion

Design: Mechanics Inverse and Forward Dynamics Running Model

Prosthetics Artificial device that replaces a missing or non- functioning limb External or Internal

Class Project Design a “Prosthetic Hand” using: string, straws, rubber bands, cardboard, washers, hot glue gun, and/or duct tape

Design Considerations What is the Problem? Are you wanting to pick up a object? Grasp a ball? Background Research What are the previous designs? Number of fingers? Number of finger joints? Requirements Do you need to use all the materials?
