Significance and Use5.1 This test method describes a uniaxial, constantamplitude, fully reversed fatigue test to characterize the fatigueperformance of a uniform cylindrical waisted specimen manu-factured from acrylic bone c

17、ement.5.2 This test method considers two approaches to evaluatingthe fatigue performance of bone cement:5.2.1 Testing is conducted at three stress levels to charac-terize the general fatigue behavior of a cement over a range ofstresses. The stress level and resultant cycles to failure of thespecimen

18、s can plotted on an S-N diagram.5.2.2 Another approach is to determine the fatigue life of aparticular cement. The fatigue life for orthopaedic bone cementis to be determined up to 5 million (5 106) cycles.5.3 This test method does not define or suggest requiredlevels of performance of bone cement.

19、This fatigue test methodis not intended to represent the clinical use of orthopaedic bonecement, but rather to characterize the material using standardand well-established methods. The user is cautioned to con-sider the appropriateness of this test method in view of thematerial being tested and its

20、potential application.5.4 It is widely reported that multiple clinical factors affectthe fatigue performance of orthopaedic bone cement; however,the actual mechanisms involves multiple factors. Clinicalfactors which may affect the performance of bone cementinclude: temperature and humidity, mixing m

21、ethod, time ofapplication, surgical technique, bone preparation, implantdesign, anatomical site, and patient factors, among others. Thistest method does not specifically address all of these clinicalfactors. The test method can be used to compare differentacrylic bone cement formulations and product

22、s and differentmixing methods and environments (that is, mixingtemperature, vacuum, centrifugation, and so forth).6. Apparatus6.1 Uniaxial Load FrameA testing machine capable ofapplying cyclic sinusoidal tensile and compressive loads.6.1.1 The crossheads of the load frame shall be aligned suchthat t

23、he alignment meets the requirements of section 8.2 ofPractice E466. The alignment should be checked at both themaximum tensile and minimum compressive load to be appliedduring the course of a test program.6.2 Cycle CounterA device capable of counting the num-ber of loading cycles applied to a specim

24、en during the courseof a fatigue test.6.3 Load CellA load cell capable of measuring dynamictensile and compressive loads in accordance with PracticeE467.6.4 LimitA device capable of detecting when a test pa-rameter (for example, load magnitude, actuator displacement,DC error, and so forth) reaches a

25、 limiting value, at which timethe test is stopped and the current cycle count recorded.6.5 Environmental ChamberA chamber designed to im-merse the fatigue specimen completely in a solution. Thechamber should have provisions for maintaining a constanttemperature to an accuracy of 62C.7. Test Specimen

26、7.1 Test specimens shall be fabricated from cement that isrepresentative of the final product with regard to materials,manufacturing processes, sterilization, and packaging. Certainsterilization methods have been shown to have an effect onfatigue performance (for example, gamma sterilization of thep

27、owder). Any deviations of the test cement from the clinicallyused product must be reported.7.2 Cylindrical reduced gage section test specimens with astraight 5-mm diameter by 10-mm-long gage section shall beused. The diameter of the specimen ends shall be substantiallygreater than the gage diameter

28、to ensure that fracture occurs inthe gage section. A smooth surface of the test specimen in theradius or taper between the specimen ends and gage section isessential to reduce variation in reported fatigue life. Suggestedspecimen dimensions are provided in Fig. 1.8. Specimen Preparation8.1 Cement Mi

29、xing:8.1.1 Store the liquid and powder portions of the cementaccording to the manufacturers instructions before mixing.8.1.2 Allow the mixing equipment to equilibrate to roomtemperature before mixing. Record the room temperature at theonset of mixing.8.1.3 Mix the powder and liquid components accord

30、ing tothe manufacturers instructions and begin recording the timeusing a stopwatch when the liquid and powder are initiallymixed. Report any deviations from the manufacturers storageand mixing recommendations.8.1.4 Report the mixing method and any equipment used.The method used for mixing the cement

31、 may affect its fatiguebehavior. See X2.13 for further information.8.2 Specimen FabricationThe cylindrical reduced gagesection test specimens are fabricated using the followingmethod:8.2.1 Direct Molding:8.2.1.1 Inject the mixed cement into a specimen moldduring the dough phase as determined by Spec

32、ification F451(manufactured from silicone material, see Appendix X3 (sug-gested specimen molding method) with an internal cavitywhich has the same dimensions as the final cement testspecimen. Record the method of cement insertion into the mold(that is, syringe injected). A 150 mL syringe with an inn

33、erdiameter of 38 mm and a nozzle tip diameter of 10 mm shouldbe considered for use. The mold should be placed on a flatsurface. The cement injection should be performed from top tobottom in direction allowing the cement to flow down axiallyto the bottom . The bottom of the mold is placed on a flatsu

34、rface as the bone cement is being injected into the moldunixaially from the top down. If air is entrapped and leads toresistance to injection, the mold should be rocked back andforth to release trapped air from the bottom of the mold. Thiswill allow for air to escape from the bottom of the mold. (Se

35、eX3.6 for standard operating procedure for making bone cementspecimens.)8.2.1.2 Place the mold in a container of phosphate bufferedsaline (PBS). The PBS solution should be maintained at 37 6F2118 1422C. After at least1hinthePBSbath, the specimens may beremoved from the mold. Appendix X3 describes a

36、suggestedprocedure for molding cement specimens.8.3 Specimen Examination:8.3.1 Visually examine specimens for surface defects. Sur-face defects in the gage or transition sections (radii) shall berejected from testing and discarded.Asurface defect is definedas a surface discontinuity greater than 250

37、 mm in majordiameter. All specimens should be photographed to documentsurface finish prior to testing. In addition, the specimensstraightness should be compared to the metal positive blank toensure that the specimen is will not product bending momentsduring the uniaxial fatigue testing. Straightness

38、 can be assessedby rolling the specimens and determining if there is a visiblewobble as compared to the straight metallic blank used to makethe mold. Specimens with surface defects or deemed not to bestraight shall be rejected from testing and discarded. The totalnumber of specimens rejected divided

39、 by the total number ofspecimens manufactured (rejection rate) shall be reported. Arationale for these rejection criteria is provided in X2.11.8.4 Specimen FinishingIf necessary, lightly polish thegage length of the specimens with 600-grit abrasive paper inthe longitudinal direction until the surfac

40、e is free of machiningand/or mold marks. It should be noted that molds can wearover time as they are used, and a visual inspection of thesurface roughness of each specimen should be done to ensuresmoothness. New molds should be made when the smoothnesscan no longer be achieved with light polish.8.5

41、Specimen MeasurementMeasure the diameter of thespecimens at a minimum of three places along the gage lengthof each specimen. The average of these measurements shall beused as the specimens gage diameter for calculation of therequired load.8.6 Specimen Conditioning:8.6.1 Place the test specimens in P

42、BS which is maintained ata temperature of 37 6 2C.8.6.2 Maintain the specimens in the PBS solution for aminimum of 7 days. The cement specimens shall be maintainedin the PBS solution for 7 to 60 days. The specimens shall becontinually immersed in the test solution so that they do not dryout. Distill

43、ed water shall be added to the soaking chamberduring the soaking period to make up for evaporation loss.Each specimen should be soaked up to the time immediatelybefore its being mounted on the load frame. See X2.5 forfurther information.9. Fatigue Test Procedures9.1 Mount one specimen at a time in a

44、 test frame test suchthat a uniaxial load is applied. Collets, Jacobs chucks, orpressurized grips should be used to firmly grip the specimen ateach end. Ensure the longitudinal centerline of the test speci-men is aligned with test machine loading axis such thatbending moments are minimized. Testing

45、of multiple speci-mens on the same fixture in parallel or series shall not beperformed as this complicated and changes the stress state inthe individual specimens when cracks initiate and propagatethrough the specimen occurs, effectively changing the modulusof each individual specimen being tested.9

46、.2 Mount an environmental chamber on the load frame andfill with fresh PBS solution immediately after the specimen ismounted to keep the specimen from drying out. The chambershould be filled to a level such that the entire specimen isimmersed. Distilled water shall be added to the test chamberduring

47、 the course of a test to make up for any evaporation loss.The temperature controller should be programmed and acti-vated to heat the test solution to 37C, and then maintain thattemperature within 62C. Fatigue testing should not beginuntil at least12 h after the solution temperature has reached37C to

48、 ensure equilibration.FIG. 1 Specimen DimensionsF2118 1439.3 Program the test frame controller to apply a fullyreversed sinusoidal cyclic waveform at a constant frequency.When testing at frequencies above 5 Hz, the user should verifythat, for the formulation being tested, the chosen frequency hasa n

49、egligible effect on the test results. See X2.6 for furtherinformation.9.4 Program the test frame controller to apply the desiredmaximum stress level and a stress ratio of R = 1, indicatingfully reversed loading. A rationale for using fully reversedloading is provided in X2.10. The load shall be calculated bymultiplying the desired stress by the specimens cross-sectionarea, based on each specimens gage diameter as determined in8.5.9.4.1 Report the stress level to the nearest 0.5 MPa.9.4.2 Determine the appropriate data acquisition frequencyto adequate
