Abstract : Uncertainty is ever-present in engineering. In this work, we demonstrate the effect of parameter uncertainty on a carbon spring prosthetic foot. The prosthesis is built with multiple layers of carbon fibre laminate. This layered structure is accounted for via homogenisation of the material parameters in the geometrically exact beam model of the prosthesis. Homogenising the material parameters introduces additional uncertainty. The resulting uncertain deformation envelopes and stored energy envelopes are examined.
