Abstract
The objective of this work was to explore different types of deformations (buckling, bending, and relaxation) on the properties of laminated composites based on polyester as the matrix and glass fiber in two forms: woven and chopped strand mat. The specimens were produced with the same thickness but with different number of ply. Also, a thin gelcoat based on clay particles was applied on the chopped strand mat samples to get a third series. The results showed that using the same thickness, the mechanical properties, especially in terms of bending and buckling, are influenced by the layers’ number. Furthermore, a sports application, which is the main objective of this work, is presented as an applied investigation for a leg prosthesis. Three different running blades “Flex-foot Cheetah” were manufactured to be experimentally and numerically (ANSYS ACP software) characterized to simulate real conditions. The results showed a good agreement between the experimental and numerical values in terms of total displacement, which is around 50 mm, the produced blade has been tested in quasi-static and dynamic compression, and results showed that the relaxation behavior depends on the structure design and the used materials.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
