To what extent does the development team have technical resources for supporting the production of a new product? (Researchers, human resources, hardware, etc. )În ce măsură dispune echipa de resursele necesare pentru a asigura fabricarea noului produs? (Cercetători, resurse umane, hardware, etc.) |
| University of Craiova, a higher education institution with a specific structure of education, has managerial experience in scientific research performance, both fundamental and applied research in all areas, as well as, advice and expertise. The research team includes experts recognized nationally and internationally, with significant results in modeling the biomechanics of the human body. A personal contribution refers to physical and mathematical modeling of biomechanical human arm subject to vibrations, and verification and validation of models. Within the Faculty of Mechanics there are equipment and specialized software for structural and behavioral analyzing of models used to emphasize ability and methods to improve their performance, and functional validation of models. |

Using the computer in medical engineering is leading to an improvement in the creation of shapes, as it enables three-dimensional view of future products, before they can be manufactured. There are several ways of representing and modeling objects (graphical representation) in a computer, namely: The proposed model defines the structure and association of elements (components) in a system, by specifying the interfaces (links) of elements with the outside. Combination of elements is made along the links through unions (relationships). |

What is you overall assessment of the technical feasibility of the research result?Care este evaluarea generală a fezabilităţii tehnice pentru rezultatul CD? |
| Formulation and development of biomechanical models, theoretical and applied, for human elbow dynamics is based on two types of behavior: biological and mechanical. Thus, the biological models include dedicated elements to simulate more realistic the features and response of systems studied under the action of external stimuli. From the mechanical point of view, it was outlined within the models the elastic-type elements, which enable outlining facilitates the mechanical movement with all their specific characteristics.The models presented are based on visco-elastic type mechanical elements, with specific parameter values taken from the biological features. Assumed risks (technical, financial) related to 3D models design models used in orthopedics of human elbow, referring especially to the following types: In conclusion, the project can be considered to have a low risk of technical terms.
