Biomechanical Design, Additive Manufacturing, and Proof-of-Concept Evaluation of a 3D-Printed Transradial Prosthesis with a Manual Ratchet-Type Locking Mechanism

Background/Objectives: Upper-limb loss represents a critical clinical and socioeconomic challenge globally. While myoelectric devices offer multi-articulated grasping, their high cost restricts access in low-resource settings. This work presents the preliminary biomechanical desi...

Core Offset Optical Fiber Sensor Coated with Aluminum-Doped Zinc Oxide for Temperature Measurement

The design of a temperature sensor employing the Mach–Zehnder configuration with an offset in the fiber core represents a novel methodology that leverages the distinctive attributes of optical fibers to attain enhanced sensitivity and precision in temperature measurement. Ambient...

Analysis of the Mechanical Behavior of Virgin and Virgin-Recycled Polystyrene

General-purpose polystyrene (GPPS) is widely used in packaging and insulation, although its recyclability poses environmental challenges that require circular economy strategies. The objective of this study was to evaluate the mechanical and tribological behavior of virgin GPPS (...
