Arm Test

Test setups for Arm test

Since the version 5.0 and higher, the arm of the ES2 now has an arm bone modeled with solids and a new mesh for the arm flesh. The bone and arm foam are separated in the arm. We also have a completely new modeled arm joint and a new mesh for the load cell. The test setup for the arm test is shown in the figure above. The arm is impacted with a pendulum at 3 different positions with 2 different velocities each. An additional modified configuration is used wherein the arm is impacted at the mid-position with 2 velocities.
