This research adopts an integrated approach to selecting and evaluating materials for a prosthetic hand, employing advanced simulation technologies and multi-criteria decision-making techniques. Utilising the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), the study identified Nylon as the most suitable material due to its excellent flexibility and high-stress resistance, featuring a safety factor that outperforms other considered materials like ABS, PC, and PET. Subsequent static structural analyses conducted in ANSYS scrutinised each candidate material for stress distribution, deformation under operational loads, and overall safety. The analysis demonstrated that Nylon could handle a maximum von Mises stress of 61.312 MPa, with minimal deformation of 0.11241 mm, ensuring a safety margin with factors ranging from 4.0775 to 15. These results corroborate the TOPSIS outcomes and underscore Nylon's superior characteristics, endorsing its use in high-performance prosthetic hands. The research concludes that with additional refinement and practical evaluation, Nylon could significantly improve prosthetic hand functionality and user satisfaction, making it a promising candidate for advanced prosthetic technologies.
