Bone implants are a tool used as a support of body parts, and bone support in cases of fractures. Scaffold, plate, bone screw, and some other tools can be used in combination to support and fill the connection between broken bones before the tissue grows. The most commonly used implant materials are Titanium, Stainless steel and ceramics, which are very common in the use of medical devices. Biocompatible materials are taken into consideration when planning a medical device. This research intended to know the durability of duralumin material as the latest implant material, as the development and breakthrough in health world. The research methodology used in this study was the optimization in Ansys software 18.1. The implants were designed, the material strength was determined and then given imposition with 6 variations (450 N, 550 N, 650 N, 750 N, 850 N and 950 N). The optimization was a method that identified mat erial strength including Equivalent Stress, Shear Stress and Total Deformation of duralumin material as implant materials with loading variations. Based on the results of the research, the duralumin material had a equivalent stress of 475,700 Pa which was higher than 950000 Pa for ZnO-Al2O3 implants, while the duralumin shear stress of 1084500 Pa was higher than 313720 Pa for ZnO-Al2O3 implants. When compared with titanium implants, the highest equivalent stress of 150000 Pa duralumin material had a higher compression stress than titanium. The highest shear stress of titanium 4358.1 Pa means an implant with a higher shear duralumin material of titanium. Whereas if it was compared to stainless steel with voltage press 564000000 Pa, then the duralumin’s pressure was getting lower. Material hardness affects resistance to wear and tear. Duralumin material hardness was lower than Titanium and ZnO-Al2O3, so total Duralumin deformation (elasticity) was higher than Titanium and ZnO-Al2O3.

Most damage of mechanical structures is due to cracks within the structure. This study is to develop the design of safer structures with strength characteristics by material. We have performed 3D modeling for compact tension specimen such as CFRP material, stainless steel and aluminum alloy, and stainless steel and copper alloy as inhomogeneous material. The boundary conditions are applied to each CFRP and compact tension specimen model with inhomogeneous material and the identical conditions are also applied to each specimen model. The simulation tension analysis has been carried for this study to investigate the strength characteristic. The inhomogeneous material in mechanical structure can be maximized with durability and material strength combined with the advantages of each metal. The material used for these mechanical structures is an essential factor. CFRP made of carbon fiber has been received the attention for a high level of durability and lightweight characteristics. If we apply CFRP material to mechanical structures, we may reduce deformation and stress that occurs, maximize durability of mechanical structures, and prevent deformation and damage. Comparing each specimen model, we can consider the CFRP compact tension specimen model to be the most suitable material for real application as its maximum deformation and maximum equivalent stress turned out to be lower than the other inhomogeneous material specimen models. We could find out that although it is a single material, it possesses a stronger durability and strength characteristic compared to inhomogeneous material combined with the advantages of each material. In this study, the durability and strength characteristics of specimen models are thought to be improved by applying simulation analysis after designing compact tension models for each material.

SummaryThe so-called “mixing” of implants and instruments from different producers entertain certain risks.The use of standardized implant materials (e.g. stainless steel ISO 5832/1) from different producers is necessary but is not sufficient to justify the use of an osteosynthesis plate from one source and a bone screw from another.The design, dimensions, tolerances, manufacturing procedure, quality controls, and application technique of the instruments and implants also vary according to make. This can lead to damage, failure or fracture of the biomechanical system called “osteosynthesis” and hence the failure of the treatment undertaken. In the end, it is the patient who pays for these problems.Some examples also illustrate the potential problems for the staff and institutions involved.The use of a unique, consistent, well-tested, and approved set of implants and instruments is to be strongly recommended to avoid any additional risk.

This study investigates the disparate impact of internal pores on the fracture behavior of two metal alloys fabricated via laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) additive manufacturing (AM)—316L stainless steel and Ti-6Al-4V. Data from mechanical tests over a range of stress states for dense samples and those with intentionally introduced penny-shaped pores of various diameters were used to contrast the combined impact of pore size and stress state on the fracture behavior of these two materials. The fracture data were used to calibrate and compare multiple fracture models (Mohr-Coulomb, Hosford-Coulomb, and maximum stress criteria), with results compared in equivalent stress (versus stress triaxiality and Lode angle) space, as well as in their conversions to equivalent strain space. For L-PBF 316L, the strain-based fracture models captured the stress state dependent failure behavior up to the largest pore size studied (2400 µm diameter, 16% cross-sectional area of gauge region), while for L-PBF Ti-6Al-4V, the stress-based fracture models better captured the change in failure behavior with pore size up to the largest pore size studied. This difference can be attributed to the relatively high ductility of 316L stainless steel, for which all samples underwent significant plastic deformation prior to failure, contrasted with the relatively low ductility of Ti-6Al-4V, for which, with increasing pore size, the displacement to failure was dominated by elastic deformation.

Residual stress is a crucial element in determining the integrity of parts and lifetime of additively manufactured structures. In stainless steel and Ti-6Al-4V fabricated joints, residual stress causes cracking and delamination of the brittle intermetallic joint interface. Knowledge of the degree of residual stress at the joint interface is, therefore, important; however, the available information is limited owing to the joint’s brittle nature and its high failure susceptibility. In this study, the residual stress distribution during the deposition of 17-4PH stainless steel on Ti-6Al-4V alloy was predicted using Simufact additive software based on the finite element modeling technique. A sharp stress gradient was revealed at the joint interface, with compressive stress on the Ti-6Al-4V side and tensile stress on the 17-4PH side. This distribution is attributed to the large difference in the coefficients of thermal expansion of the two metals. The 17-4PH side exhibited maximum equivalent stress of 500 MPa, which was twice that of the Ti-6Al-4V side (240 MPa). This showed good correlation with the thermal residual stress calculations of the alloys. The thermal history predicted via simulation at the joint interface was within the temperature range of 368–477 °C and was highly congruent with that obtained in the actual experiment, approximately 300–450 °C. In the actual experiment, joint delamination occurred, ascribable to the residual stress accumulation and multiple additive manufacturing (AM) thermal cycles on the brittle FeTi and Fe2Ti intermetallic joint interface. The build deflected to the side at an angle of 0.708° after the simulation. This study could serve as a valid reference for engineers to understand the residual stress development in 17-4PH and Ti-6Al-4V joints fabricated with AM.

Shearing is the process to cut sheets using pair of blades, by applying shear stress along the thickness of the sheet. Shearing happens by extreme plastic deformation followed by breaking which propagates deeper into the thickness. The upper blade is fixed to the ram assembly that moves vertically and lower knife is fixed in the stationary table. This project is rooted on the necessity of industry to develop a shearing machine for cutting 5mm thick stainless steel sheets. In this project we will design a CAD model of shearing machine and analyze using FEA technique.

Abstract A numerical analysis of the effect of temperature on the dynamics of the sandwich beam model with a viscoelastic core is presented. The beam under analysis was described with a standard rheological model. This solution allows one to study the effect of temperature on material strength properties. Calculations were performed with the Finite Element Method in the ANSYS software. The analysis of the results of the numerical calculations showed a significant influence of temperature on the strength properties of the model under test. The analysis confirmed damping properties of viscoelastic materials.
