Carbon-fiber-reinforced (CFR) polyetheretherketone (PEEK) combines the high strength of metals with the extensive biocompatibility and imaging compatibility of polymers. CFR PEEK composite is similar to the stiffness of cortical bone (approximately 15–20 GPa) and shows comparable performance to metallic materials such as titanium alloy, cobalt chrome alloy, and stainless steel in terms of strength. CFR-PEEK becomes an attractive alternative to the metallic materials traditionally used in spinal implants (e.g. pedicle screw rod fixation). Finite element (FE) models have been developed to study the biomechanical behaviors of spinal structures with pedicle screw rod fixation ([1–5]). However, it is limited to implement these models to study the bone screw interaction, and local bone strain at the bone screw interface due to the intrinsic low mesh density of the intact model. The aim of this study is to develop a refined block fixation FE model to investigate the load sharing, bone screw interaction, and strain/stress in CFR PEEK construct.

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a crystallizable thermoplastic used as composite matrix materials in application which requires high yield stress, high toughness, long term high temperature service, and resistance to solvent and radiation. There have been several reports on the crystallization behavior of neat PEEK and of CF/PEEK composite. Other reports discussed the effects of crystallization on the mechanical properties of PEEK and CF/PEEK composites. However, these reports were all concerned with the crystallization or melting processes at or close to atmospheric pressure. Thus, the effects of high pressure on the crystallization of CF/PEEK will be examined in this study.The continuous carbon fiber reinforced PEEK (CF/PEEK) laminate composite with 68 wt.% of fibers was obtained from Imperial Chemical Industry (ICI). For the high pressure experiments, HIP was used to keep these samples under 1000, 1500 or 2000 atm. Then the samples were slowly cooled from 420 °C to 60 °C in the cooling rate about 1 - 2 degree per minute to induce high pressure crystallization. After the high pressure treatment, the samples were scanned in regular DSC to study the crystallinity and the melting temperature. Following the regular polishing, etching, and gold coating of the sample surface, the scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to image the microstructure of the crystals. Also the samples about 25mmx5mmx3mm were prepared for the 3-point bending tests.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced

In this study a numerical simulation model was designed for representing the joining process of carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP) and aluminum alloy with semi-tubular self-piercing rivet. The first step towards this goal is to analyze the piercing process of CFRP numerical and experimental. Thereby the essential process parameters, tool geometries and material characteristics are determined and in finite element model represented. Subsequently the finite element model will be verified and calibrated by experimental studies. The next step is the integration of the calibrated model parameters from the piercing process in the extensive simulation model of self-piercing rivet process. The comparison between the measured and computed values, e.g. process parameters and the geometrical connection characteristics, shows the reached quality of the process model. The presented method provides an experimental reliable characterization of the damage of the composite material and an evaluation of the connection performances, regarding the anisotropic property of CFRP.
