| description | The thumb prosthesis mechanism is optimally designed by using five performance criteria including the following: least square structural error, mechanical manufacturing imprecision error, driving optimal torque, mechanical strength reliability, and production cost of the thumb mechanism. This paper was devoted to the optimization of the thumb prosthesis’s mechanism by taking into consideration the manufacturing cost model based on machining cost theory which took into detail the shape of the workpieces and the strength reliability of all the parts composing the entire mechanism. Every optimization problem displays a particular set of an independent vector of optimal parameters, showing the impact of each objective function on the configuration of the prosthetic device. The multiobjective optimization showed that the mechanical reliability and the production cost included in any combination of the simultaneous optimization enabled the achievement of the same optimum variables design, though with some exceptions. With the inclusion of the labor charges, the depreciation rate of the equipment, and production assets in the mathematical’s manufacturing cost model, the optimal manufacturing cost generated from the numerical simulation was 501.0021 USD. Therefore, the global manufacturing cost and the mechanical strength reliability of the whole prosthesis mechanism have a real impact on the customization of the structure, due to the stochastic nature of the trajectory of the cutting tools during the manufacturing processes. |
