Eastern-European Journal of Enterprise Technologies https://journals.uran.ua/eejet <p><span lang="EN-US">Terminology used in the title of the «Eastern-European Journal of Enterprise Technologies» - «enterprise technologies» should be read as «industrial technologies». <strong>«Eastern-European Journal of Enterprise Technologies»</strong> publishes all those best ideas from the science, which can be introduced in the industry. Since, obtaining the high-quality, competitive industrial products is based on introducing high technologies from various independent spheres of scientific researches, but united by a common end result - a finished high-technology product. </span>Among these scientific spheres, there are information technologies and control systems, engineering, energy and energy saving. Publishing scientific papers in these directions are the main development «vectors» of the «Eastern-European Journal of Enterprise Technologies». Since, these are those directions of scientific researches, the results of which can be directly used in modern industrial production: space and aircraft industry, instrument-making industry, mechanical engineering, power engineering, chemical industry and metallurgy.</p> <p><span lang="EN-US">Therefore, the scientists, associated with modern production, have the opportunity to participate in <strong>technology transfer to industry</strong>, publishing the results of their applied scientific researches. Industrialists, in turn, can draw scientific and practical information from the journal - each in their direction:</span></p> <ul> <li>specialists in management and computer science - from volumes «Applied Information Technologies and Control Systems», «Mathematics and Cybernetics - Applied Aspects»;</li> <li>mechanical and design engineers - from the volume «Applied Mechanics»;</li> <li>production engineers - from volumes «Mechanical Engineering Technology», «Applied Physics», «Materials Science», «Technology of organic and inorganic substances and the Ecology»;</li> <li>production and power engineers - from the volume «Energy-saving technology and equipment».</li> </ul> <p><span lang="EN-US"><strong>The goal of the journal</strong> is to eliminate the gap, which occurs between the rapidly emerging new scientific knowledge and their introduction in the industry, which requires much more time. Industrial enterprises are active subscribers to the «Eastern-European Journal of Enterprise Technologies», and production engineers check the practical value of those scientific and technological ideas, which are recommended for implementation by scientists-authors of the ''Eastern-European Journal of Enterprise Technologies».</span></p> <p><span lang="EN-US"><strong>The objective of the journal</strong> in achieving the goal is <strong>forming a «scientific component» of modern technologies transfer</strong> from science to industry. Therefore, in the papers, published in the journal, the emphasis is placed on both scientific novelty, and practical value.</span></p> <p>Registration of an entity in the media sector: Decision of the National Council of Ukraine on Television and Radio Broadcasting No. 695 dated August 10, 2023, protocol No. 17 (media identifier R30-01134).</p> en-US <p>The consolidation and conditions for the transfer of copyright (identification of authorship) is carried out in the License Agreement.

The problem to be solved is the existing commercial orthotic devices exhibit excessive weight and inadequate contact pressure distribution, leading to soft tissue damage, skin irritation, and poor therapeutic compliance in pediatric patients. Main scientific results – topological optimization based on the solid isotropic material with penalization method was applied to redesign the splint geometry. Three medical-grade polymers (ABS medical, PETG medical, and PP) were comparatively evaluated through static finite element analysis (FEA). ABS Medical was selected as the optimal material due to its initial safety factor of 14.95. The iterative optimization process, spanning 81 cycles, achieved a mass reduction of 18.96% (from 395.34 g to 320.38 g) while maintaining a safety factor of 13.69, significantly exceeding the Pugsley-derived minimum of 2.52 established for pediatric medical devices. Peak contact pressure reached 0.962 kPa, well below the critical 5.2 kPa capillary occlusion threshold. Interpretation – weight reduction results from the redistribution of material along principal stress vectors identified through finite element analysis. Distinctive features – the approach achieves nearly double the mass reduction of comparable studies (18.96% vs. 9.58%). Practical value – these results provide a validated framework for manufacturing lightweight and safer orthopedic devices via fused deposition modeling (FDM) additive manufacturing, minimizing dermatological complications</p> Alex Condori Lopez, Eber Mejia Tola, Yuri Silva Vidal, Erick Valdeiglesias Flores, Daniela Ponte Lopez, Trunks Vasquez Llave Copyright (c) 2026 Alex Condori Lopez, Eber Mejia Tola, Yuri Silva Vidal, Erick Valdeiglesias Flores, Daniela Ponte Lopez, Trunks Vasquez Llave http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 https://journals.uran.ua/eejet/article/view/351704 Wed, 06 May 2026 00:00:00 +0300
