Fatigue Testing of Human Flexor Tendons Using a Customized 3D-Printed Clamping SystemScholze, Mario, Safavi, Sarah, Ramezani, Maziar, Ondruschka, Benjamin, Hammer, Niels 06 December 2023 (has links)
Improved surgical procedures and implant developments for ligament or tendon repair
require an in-depth understanding of tissue load-deformation and fatigue properties. Cyclic testing
will provide crucial information on the behavior of these materials under reoccurring loads and
on fatigue strength. Sparse data are available describing soft tissue behavior under cyclic loading.
To examine fatigue strength, a new technology was trialed deploying 3D-printing to facilitate and
standardize cyclic tests aiming to determine tendon fatigue behavior. Cadaveric flexor digitorum
tendons were harvested and mounted for tensile testing with no tapering being made, using 3Dprinted clamps and holder arms, while ensuring a consistent testing length. Loads ranging between
200 to 510 N were applied at a frequency of 4 Hz, and cycles to failure ranged between 8 and >260,000.
S–N curves (Woehler curves) were generated based on the peak stresses and cycles to failure. Power
regression yielded a combined coefficient of determination of stress and cycles to failure of R
2 = 0.65,
while the individual coefficients for tissues of single donors ranged between R
2 = 0.54 and R
2 = 0.88.
The here-presented results demonstrate that S–N curves of human tendons can be obtained using a
standardized setting deploying 3D-printing technology

Numerická podpora pro popis chování cementového kompozitu při únavové zkoušce / Numerical support for description of behavior of cement based composite during fatigue testHolušová, Táňa Unknown Date (has links)
The presented dissertation thesis is focused on analysis of alternative test method for determination of mechanical parameters of cement based composites. A disk shaped specimen with diameter 150 mm, thickness 60 mm was analysed and its modification for use on compact tension test (CT). Such a test is hereinafter referred to as modified compact tension (shortly MCT or MDCT)). This test configuration was chosen for testing the static and fatigue properties of cement based composites precisely because of its traditional use for fatigue testing of metallic materials. Specimens with a different cross-sections can also be used for MCT, but the work is exclusively focused on circular specimen, for example because it could be easily cut from drill core taken directly from the existing structure, on which the properties are more relevant to the age of the used concrete of the controlled structure. The modified compact tension test was firstly calibrated by numerical simulations involved the tuning of the shape of the numerical model and used material models of concrete and steel. Then the laboratory testing of modified compact tension on several levels were performed. The adequacy of the numerical model was verified against the pilot laboratory testing of the MCT test. Furthermore, the comparison of the modified compact tension test and its suitability for determining of fracture mechanical parameters of cement based composites with the three point bending test, which is the standardized test configuration for these purposes was performed. Another laboratory testing was focused of determining of fracture mechanical parameters of concrete mixture classified in strength class C30/37 and the pilot study of fatigue parameters of the same strength class of the concrete mix. The work was also presented numerical simulations of the push-out test, focused on the connection of concrete and steel with epoxy adhesive.

Přední nezávislá náprava pro autobus / Independent front axletree of the busMoravec, Jan January 2008 (has links)
In those diploma work was solved problems of independent trapezoidal axletree for low-floor bus - NB12 CITY firm SOR Libchavy s.r.o . Work was divided into two main features: solving wheel-suspension kinematics and strenght calculation sorted parts of wheel suspension by the help of finite element method. There was effected fatigue calculation sorted parts of wheel suspension according to „Resetova metoda“ of predicting fatigue damage flowing from so – called cutaway methodics of fatigue tests at the close of this work.
