Innovative Stent Test Specimen by Additive Manufacturing for Reliable Mechanical Testing and Simulation

This project focuses on developing a reliable, 3D-printed test specimen that replicates the mechanical behavior of biodegradable metallic stents. By combining additive manufacturing, mechanical testing, and finite element simulations, the goal is to create a standardized and cost-effective method to evaluate stent materials and designs, improving the development process for cardiovascular implants.

Methodology:
Design novel test specimen and fabricated using additive manufacturing (AM) techniques. Tensile tests were conduced on the printed samples and in parallel, developed finite element (FE) models to simulate the mechanical response

本项目致力于开发一款可靠的3D打印测试试样，以复现可降解金属支架的力学行为。通过融合增材制造（Additive Manufacturing，AM）、力学测试与有限元（Finite Element，FE）仿真技术，旨在构建一套标准化且低成本的支架材料与设计评估方法，优化心血管植入物的研发流程。

研究方法：
设计新型测试试样并采用增材制造技术完成制备。对打印试样开展拉伸测试，同时构建有限元模型以模拟其力学响应。
