Kinematic & Structural Design: Designed a multi-joint prosthetic foot combining an ankle pivot and a strain-tuned compliant Polypropylene toe flexure ($2.9\%$ operating strain vs. $5\%$ allowable). Mechanical Validation & Analysis: Conducted Worst-Case and Root-Sum-Square (RSS) tolerance stack-up across critical assembly chains and performed DFM passes for molded and machined components. Simulation & Fatigue Testing: Executed FEA static load testing to yield point, documented iterative redesigns, and derived analytical S-N fatigue life estimates under cyclic gait loading
