| dc.description.abstract | The aim of this work was to investigate the fatigue and fracture behaviour of microscopic specimens based on a biomedical component (the cardiovascular stent) and to modify existing theories to take account of the observed effects. A stent is a cylindrical wire mesh that is used to scaffold open stenosed arteries in order to retain a sufficient blood flow. Different 316L stainless steel microscopic specimens were designed and tested, which
contained notches representing stent-like features. Typical sizes of stent wires are around 100μm, giving only about 10 grains along the width and thickness of the wires. | |
