ASTM Axial Fatigue of Stent
This work is related to an ASTM F04.30.06 subcommittee activity to develop a standard based on the Fatigue to Fracture methodology. The idea of [...]
Comprehensive Fatigue Analysis: Complex Loading of Implantable Medical Device
Medical device manufacturers are increasingly required to demonstrate that their products are safe and effective when subjected to complex loading conditions in the human [...]
Characterization of Nitinol Material Behavior for the Design and Validation of Medical Implants
Direct strain measurements in AAA stent using phase shifted moire interferometry. You can download a poster I presented at the MPMD fall [...]
Full-Field Measurement of Strain and Transformation in Nitinol
Phase shifted moire interferometry is used to measure full-field strain during uniaxial tension and four point bend loading of nitinol test samples. Differences between [...]
FEA of In-Vitro Test Methods for Radial Force Characterization
An overview of the typical in-vitro test methods used to characterize the performance of Nitinol stents is presented. Characterization requires a consistent definition and [...]
