A six-degree-of-freedom apparatus for constraint and stability testing of total knee replacements per ASTM F1223 — my MSc thesis at Sharif University of Technology, supervised by Prof. Mohammad Durali with Prof. Farahmand as consulting advisor. The apparatus has been delivered and is used for research.
No comparable apparatus existed in Iran; commercial equivalents are built by companies such as EndoLab (Germany) and AMTI (USA). I later reconfigured the same rig for a bone–implant friction study, which led to a paper in Scientific Reports.
Mechanical design, automation architecture, PLC programming and HMI development; later, reconfiguring the rig for friction testing.

An interview with Hassan Nasiri Khonsari, MSc graduate in mechanical engineering from Sharif University of Technology and Alborz Prize laureate, on designing and building machines and mechatronic systems — from an idea to a working machine.
On the university’s main website ↗Hassan Nasiri Khonsari, a Sharif University of Technology graduate named among the laureates of the 64th Alborz Prize in the Technologists & Inventors category, was honored at a meeting of the university’s board and presented with a certificate of appreciation and a silver medal minted by Sharif University.
The full award ceremony, from the Alborz Foundation’s channel, including a short conversation about the experiences that shaped his academic and professional path, the Alborz Prize as a publicly supported award, and the role of donors in supporting science and research. International Conference Hall, Shahid Beheshti University.
A documentary on his path, from an early interest in designing and building machines to Sharif University of Technology and industrial projects. It covers the role of Prof. Mohammad Durali and the Creative Workshop of Sharif’s mechanical engineering faculty, and projects such as the postal sorting robots, 3D printers and industrial CNC, and the knee prosthesis constraint and stability test apparatus.
An interview with IRNA after the Khwarizmi Youth Award, on linking student projects to real industry needs and the experience of building the knee prosthesis constraint and stability test apparatus.
