Asst.Prof.Dr.Jiwad Kadhim from Metarials Engineering Department at the University of Technology and Asst.Prof.Dr.Ahmed Niama from University of Missan-Engineering faculty have published a joint research  " Experimental and numerical investigation of lower limb prosthetic foot made from composite polymer blends" in the magazine "International journal of mechanical and production and production engineering research and development" Vol.8-2018.

The research dealt with Two types of polymer PMMA / SR and PMMA / PUR were mixed with carbon fiber CF and were prepared as a suitable material for the artificial foot of the lower limbs. The tensile properties were practically measured. The theoretical part of this work dealt with the angles of deformation. ANSY-15 to analyze and evaluate the tensile properties of total deformation and equivalent stress. The results showed that the effect on the measured properties gave the polymeric mixtures an optimum compound, which is the best choice for the artificial limbs of the foot limbs.
