F T R
3
F T R 1.5” 6” Forces generated on the foot while a 150 lb man is standing (on 2 legs)? Determine F What is tension generated in achilles tendon (connected to gastronemius muscle) during 2 legged stance? Determine T 150 FF
4
75 lbs T R 1.5” 6” What is tension generated in achilles tendon (connected to gastronemius muscle) during 2 legged stance? Determine T
5
2 legged stance –300 lbs of load through gastroc and tendon –Difference between tendons and ligaments? –Tendon will stretch-by how much? What do we need to calculate strain?
6
0.8 kg/mm2 would cause 3.5% elongation Can’t find a modulus and use Hooke’s law-why?
7
In fact, σ-ε curve is; –nonlinear –Age –Health –Rate of test –?? others Steel and Aluminum are ‘linear elastic’ What is force (F) and amount of stretch (ε) if we jump? Fast Slow
8
–flex our knees and push generating a rxn on our feet (F1)and momentum has to change –Momentum= –Newton said external forces can change momentum and called it an Impulse –Need to find velocity
9
Jump- raising our potential energy but..conservation of energy we must generate kinetic energy—, where g=32 ft/s 2 and he jumped 2 ft So, F1= So, 175 # due to impulse and 150 # due to weight, assuming 2 legged jump
10
F= Go back to FBD, Now what is stretch of tendon 150 +175 FF F T R 1.5” 6”
11
1.8 kg/mm2 would cause 6% elongation Tendons can fail around 10% strain
