Abstract

The paper presents a testing machine and its operation for evaluating key features of artificial ribs on an anteroposterior biological compression. A model of artificial ribs is elaborated out to build a testing sample. Design for a new machine is developed for an experimental layout in laboratory testing. The results of experimental tests show the efficiency of the designed testing machine and a characterization of artificial ribs with human-like behavior.
