| Abstract(in English) | We have investigated a possibility of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) when applying to muscular power supports in the standing up motion. Recently, robotic mechanical systems with electronic actuators are popular in the welfare-engineering field; however its cost and maintenance problems are still difficulties in popularization of such assist tools. In considering of care for persons with mild impairments of legs and the paralyses by a partial brain damage, the market of light and maintenance-free tools is expected to grow and composite materials have a high potential for applications to muscular power supports, such as prosthetic limbs for athletes, hi the present paper, we report elastic characteristics of the material, which is aimed to enhance a power at the best moment to need the maximum force during the standing up. hi our experiments, we measured possible curvatures in the elastic range of the material and the force generation when the deflection of the material blade is released in the static condition, by using an original hybrid measurement system. It might become an indispensable foundation for usage those materials for muscle power support. |
