Method for analysing the deformation and stress of vertebra assembly

The paper presents a method for testing the deformation and stress values of the vertebra assembly when variable forces are applied on the body surface. The working points have very well-known positions and they could be changed, so the compression force, torsional or bending couples could act. The...

Description
Summary:The paper presents a method for testing the deformation and stress values of the vertebra assembly when variable forces are applied on the body surface. The working points have very well-known positions and they could be changed, so the compression force, torsional or bending couples could act. The system is actuated by an electrical stepper motor controlled with Arduino. The force and displacement sensors were used.
