Abstract
Background
Porous bone implants have a wide range of applications for their low elastic modulus and good connectivity. It is necessary to explore an elastic modulus control method that can significantly regulate the elastic modulus under the condition of maintaining a constant porosity.
Methods
For achieving continuously changing elastic modulus of porous lattice structure, the simple cubic lattice structures were selected as research object, and the distribution of cross-sectional sizes of its carrying structures were set as variable continuous curves. The prediction model for the elastic modulus was established based on the elasticity mechanics and the equal mass assumption. Then, the prediction model is enhanced through compression simulation of the unit cell structure. Finally, the accuracy of prediction model is validated by compression experiments.
Findings
The results indicate that the distribution of cross-sectional size of the carrying structures has a significant impact on the elastic modulus of unit cell structures under the constraint of equal mass. By adjusting the characteristic parameters of distribution curves, the elastic modulus can be changed within a large range.
Interpretation
Variable cross-section can effectively change the elastic modulus of porous structures while ensuring constant porosity. This method has important value in decoupling the influence of geometric parameters on the elastic modulus of porous structures.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Biomechanics is an international multidisciplinary journal of biomechanics with a focus on medical and clinical applications of new knowledge in the field.
The science of biomechanics helps explain the causes of cell, tissue, organ and body system disorders, and supports clinicians in the diagnosis, prognosis and evaluation of treatment methods and technologies. Clinical Biomechanics aims to strengthen the links between laboratory and clinic by publishing cutting-edge biomechanics research which helps to explain the causes of injury and disease, and which provides evidence contributing to improved clinical management.
A rigorous peer review system is employed and every attempt is made to process and publish top-quality papers promptly.
Clinical Biomechanics explores all facets of body system, organ, tissue and cell biomechanics, with an emphasis on medical and clinical applications of the basic science aspects. The role of basic science is therefore recognized in a medical or clinical context. The readership of the journal closely reflects its multi-disciplinary contents, being a balance of scientists, engineers and clinicians.
The contents are in the form of research papers, brief reports, review papers and correspondence, whilst special interest issues and supplements are published from time to time.
Disciplines covered include biomechanics and mechanobiology at all scales, bioengineering and use of tissue engineering and biomaterials for clinical applications, biophysics, as well as biomechanical aspects of medical robotics, ergonomics, physical and occupational therapeutics and rehabilitation.
