Abstract

The work presents a few results regarding the static and dynamic analysis of some biomechanical components through the finite element method. Models, representing parts of the human upper limb, have been studied using static trials. Another study was carried out in order to determine the dynamic behavior of the model for total arm prosthesis. The models have been created with the aid of the SolidWorks program and the trials with the HyperMesh program. Considering the fact that we wish to emphasize the way in which such analyses can be done with a finite element method, from meshing to the obtaining of results, as well as their comparison to the results obtained experimentally, we shall present only a few relevant examples for such studies.
