Biomechanical engineers developing artificial limbs for prosthetic and robotic

Chapter 7, Problem 67

(choose chapter or problem)

Biomechanical engineers developing artificial limbs for prosthetic and robotic applications have developed a two-spring design for their replacement Achilles tendon. The first spring has constant k and the second ak, where When the artificial tendon is stretched from to only the first spring is engaged. For a mechanism engages the second spring, giving a configuration like that described in part (a) of Chapter 4s 58.
