Safety Factor Analysis of Sports and Physical Therapy Equipment Parallel Bars using FEM

Parallel bars is a medical device that is made as a sporting tool and also as a physical therapy tool, in its use parallel bars are used to hold the weight of the user by holding both bars as support using the hands, for that reason a parallel bar design that can withstand the weight of the user and also safe to use is needed. The purpose of this analysis is to find out using Finite Element Method whether the parallel bars designed by the examiner has the strength and also the safety as required, the value sought in this test is the stress, strain, deformation, and safety factor of the parallel bars after tested by a force of 700 N.
