Fatigue Characteristics and Numerical Modelling Prosthetic for Chopart Amputation by Saif M. Abbas, Ammar I. Kubba

“…The composite material matrix was laminated in an 80 : 20 ratio, and there were three types of reinforcement lamination material (Perlon, glass fiber, and carbon fiber). The mechanical property results of these tests were found as follows: using only-Perlon reinforcement, the properties are σy=33.6 MPa, σult=35.6 MPa, and modulus of elasticity=1.03 GPa; using (3Perlon +2carbon fiber +3perlon) layers, the properties were σy=65.5 MPa, σult=92.5 MPa, and modulus of elasticity=1.99 GPa; and using (3Perlon + 2 glass fiber + 3perlon) layers, the results were σy=40 MPa, σult=46.6 MPa, and modulus of elasticity=1.4 GPa. …”
