Abstract
The mechanical behaviours of the Palmaz-Schatz stent, including expansion, foreshortening and recoil, were analyzed. Based on Timoshenko beam bending theory and the linearly hardened elastoplastic constitutive relationship, the mathematical model of the problem was developed through equilibrium and deformation analysis of the stent’s substructural units. The explicit relationship between the radial expansion deformation and the pressure applied to the stent’s inner wall was derived analytically. Expansion experiments were designed and performed on the stents with enlarged size. The results verified the applicability of the proposed theoretical model and analytical solutions. The effects of geometric and material parameters on the stent’s elastoplastic deformation were analyzed.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Solids and Structures has as its objective the publication and dissemination of original research in Mechanics of Solids and Structures as a field of Applied Science and Engineering. It fosters thus the exchange of ideas among workers in different parts of the world and also among workers who emphasize different aspects of the foundations and applications of the field.
Standing as it does at the cross-roads of Materials Science, Life Sciences, Mathematics, Physics and Engineering Design, the Mechanics of Solids and Structures is experiencing considerable growth as a result of recent technological advances. The Journal, by providing an international medium of communication, is encouraging this growth and is encompassing all aspects of the field from the more classical problems of structural analysis to mechanics of solids continually interacting with other media and including fracture, flow, wave propagation, heat transfer, thermal effects in solids, optimum design methods, model analysis, structural topology and numerical techniques. Interest extends to both inorganic and organic solids and structures.
