Abstract Current test standards of osteosynthetic implants examine the bone plate and screw separately leading to unrealistic load scenarios and unknown performance of the system as a whole, which prevents the identification of characteristic failures in clinical use. A standardized static and dynamic four-point bending test (ASTM F382) was performed on a bone plate. Based on that standard, an advanced implant system test (IST) was designed and performed to test a mechanical construct consisting of a bone plate, screws and an artificial bone substitute out of Polyoxymethylene (POM). The test object was an osteosynthetic system to treat fractured ulna bones. Both results of the conventional and advanced test method were analyzed and compared to one another. The static results show a similar yield point (YP) relative to the bending moment with just 9% difference. Dynamic results show a bi-phasic behavior of the displacement vs. cycle data for the IST. The secondary phase can be defined as a constantly increasing plastic deflection or ratcheting effect quantified by its slope in mm per one million cycles, leading to a 10 times higher slope for the IST than the conventional test. The IST has a high impact on the test results and the resultant interpretation of the mechanical behavior of the osteosynthetic system. A constantly increasing plastic deflection might lead to fatigue failures and to a loss of the mechanical durability. The development of new standardizations referring to the whole system within reasonable boundary conditions of individual biomechanical applications is crucial for high quality mechanical analysis.

In the interest of reducing the weight and also cost of blade skins, various automatic preform manufacturing processes were developed including tape laying, filament winding and braiding. Among them, the circular braiding process was found to be an efficient method in producing seamless preforms on mandrels with various geometries. In this regard, an attempt was made to produce a carbon fiber reinforced composite with the shape of NACA 23018 airfoil using a circular braiding machine. Thus, suitable wooden mandrels were manufactured using NACA 23018 airfoil coordinates, which were obtained by assuming the perimeter of 20 cm. Furthermore, both biaxially and triaxially braided preforms were produced and subsequently impregnated with epoxy resin through an appropriate fabrication method. To assess their performance, four-point bending test was carried out on samples. Ultimately, the elastic response of braided composite airfoils was predicted using a meso-scale finite element modeling and was validated with experimental results.

Through the four-point bending test of lath-shaped heat treated AZ31 magnesium alloy, the bending properties and damage characteristics were explored. The results show that the optimal bending strength of the magnesium alloy were 355.1MPa and 259.2MPa for extruded and cast samples, respectively, after corresponding heat treatment with 350°C, 90min and 400°C, 30min. The initial cracks both occurred at the loading point after applied load exceeded the yield limit of AZ31 magnesium alloy. Surface bump, cracks and other damage morphology accompanied by a large number of twinning organizations were found on the surface of the samples.
