FEM ANALYSIS APPLIED IN THE DESIGN OF ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS

Adrian Vasile ABRUDEAN, Dan MANDRU

Abstract


In this paper we present the steps which are necessary to send in production a Rollator. We start from a new design which has a good feedback from market, and then we change same details in order to improve the product. In detail we look at FEM analysis for same parts. We’ll take only the components which are important for testing.

Key words: FEM analysis, assistive technology, rollator
