STUDY OF MEDICAL MECHATRONICS

Abstract Medical mechatronics explains innovative solutions for exploiting mechatronics in the medical instruments by optimizing the available conventional instruments and also creating new innovative, intelligent and accurate instrument. This paper gives a brief introduction about sensing and actuating technologies, automation and control systems used in the medical field. The paper also discuss about the principles and methods of processing and controlling mechanism in mechatronics system. In controlling, the artificial neural networks (ANNs) and fuzzy expert systems are commonly used one. ANNs are biologically inspired computer programs designed to simulate the way in which the human brain processes information. Whereas fuzzy expert system uses predefine membership functions and fuzzy inference rules to map numeric data into linguistic variable terms and to make fuzzy reasoning work

Effect of lay-up angle on mechanical properties of composites based on rib knit jute preforms

263-266<span style="font-size: 16.0pt;font-family:Fd839219-Identity-H;mso-bidi-font-family:Fd839219-Identity-H">The mechanical properties of knitted jute reinforced composites with different stacking sequences have been studied. Flat rib knitted preforms have been produced in manual flat bed knitting machine followed by composite laminate preparation using simple hand Jay-up technique. It is observed that the mechanical properties are dependent upon the stacking sequence. <span style="font-size: 16.0pt;font-family:Fd839219-Identity-H;mso-bidi-font-family:Fd839219-Identity-H">The improvement in course-wise mechanical properties of the laminates has been observed with [0°/±45°/0°] and [0°/90°/90°/0°] lay-up sequences compared to [0°)4 lay-up sequence which shows improvement in properties in wale-wise direction. </span
