Continuity is enforced at thevertices of the elements where node points are define

16、d. Themechanical behavior of the continuum is then defined accord-ing to mathematical expressions of physical laws at the nodepoints.

Summary of Practice3.1 This guide addresses the use of the finite elementmethod for structural analysis of metallic vascular stents undervarious types of simulated uniform radial

26、 loading. The purposeof a structural analysis of the stent is to determine suchquantities as the displacements, stresses, and strains within adevice resulting from external loading. This includes stressesand strains potentially due, but not limited, to manufacturingprocesses, to delivery in the body

27、, and to pulsatile loading invivo.3.2 Current United States government guidelines (1)2rec-ommend structural analysis of a proposed device under physi-ologically appropriate loading. The analysis technique dis-cussed in this guide is restricted to the finite element analysistechnique (2-5), although

28、other techniques may be equallysuitable for the required analysis.3.3 Prior to the finalization of a device design, rigorousexperimental testing is recommended to complement the analy-ses performed. During these tests, care should be taken torepresent the loading and boundary support conditions cons

Any behav-ior that was not captured by the numerical simulation should beidentified and evaluated for its effect on safety a

30、nd reliability.4. Significance and Use4.1 Finite element analysis is a valuable method for evalu-ating the performance of metallic stents and in quantifyingquantities such as internal stresses, internal strains, and defor-mation patterns due to applied external loads and boundaryconditions. Many tim

31、es an analysis is performed to correlate toand plan experimental tests. A finite element analysis isespecially valuable in determining quantities that cannot bereadily measured.5. Overall Technical Approach5.1 The application of finite element analysis is intended forthe development of a quantifiabl

32、e level of confidence in thestent design. The overall approach described in this guidefocuses on the development of a systematic technical approachto using the finite element analysis technique to evaluate stentperformance. The basic process includes:5.1.1 Detailed definition of the geometry of the

33、stent beingevaluated.5.1.2 The determination, quantification and validation of theimportant mechanical material properties.2The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to a list of references at the end ofthis standard.F2514 08 (2014)25.1.3 Selection of the appropriate finite element tools andprograms

34、 to ensure effective and reliable representations of thestent being evaluated.5.1.4 Selection and validation of the appropriate finiteelement model and type of element(s) used.5.1.5 Calibration, validation, and verification of modelinput, parameters for the numerical simulation, solution resultsand

35、comparison to experimental tests.5.1.6 Definition of all important loading steps.5.1.7 Selection and application of appropriate boundaryconditions, such as symmetry.5.1.8 Effective and proper application of the finite elementanalysis program for the intended evaluation.5.1.9 The generation and inter

36、pretation of results to performan effective evaluation.5.1.10 Documentation of the analysis, including all support-ing citations and references, analysis methodology, andassumptions, results interpretation, and overall stent designevaluation.6. Input Data6.1 Finite element analysis is a numerical te

37、chnique use forsimulating the mechanical response of structures. A finiteelement structural analysis requires input to numerically rep-resent geometric and material information, as well as mechani-cal support and loading conditions. Two important parts of anyfinite element analysis is the proper rep

38、resentation of materialproperties and the definition of load cases and boundaryconditions. These must reflect the entire process and perfor-mance history and environment of the device. The load historyshould include all relevant manufacturing loads and all steps ofthe intended clinical end use of th

39、e device. If all steps are notincluded, the reason for the omission should be described.6.1.1 Geometric Data:6.1.1.1 Finite element models are based on a geometricrepresentation of the device being studied. The source of thedetails of the geometry can be drawings, computer aideddesign (CAD) and soli

40、d models, preliminary sketches, or anyother source consistent with defining the device model geom-etry.6.1.1.2 Finite element modeling is used extensively in thedesign phase of product development, many times before anyprototyping has occurred. As such, models are often based onpreliminary designs f

41、rom CAD drawings. Changes associatedwith the progress of the development of the design andmanufacturing processes should be addressed in the finiteelement model to accurately represent actual stent geometry.6.1.1.3 Stent geometry is often determined by measuringand inspecting representative samples

42、of stents that haveundergone all processing steps prior to insertion in the body.This processing may include, but is not limited to, cleaning,polishing, and crimping. Most evaluations use the nominaldimensions for the evaluation. It is also most appropriate toconsider the possible effects of variabi

43、lity in dimensions ordesign parameters within the finite element analysis, such thatthe manner in which the variability influence performance andsafety.6.1.2 Preliminary ModelsDuring the preliminary designphase, detailed geometric and/or material data may not bewarranted and/or readily available. In

44、 these cases, it is appro-priate to use initial design geometries and material data fromstandard engineering references. The results of such simula-tions will be considered preliminary results.6.1.3 Material Property Tests:6.1.3.1 Mechanical properties of the material should bedetermined from rigoro

45、us experimental testing of the materialthat has undergone all pertinent manufacturing processesincluding finishing, cleaning, and sterilization, if appropriate.The mechanical material properties for a finite element analysisare most often determined through tensile testing of thematerial. During the

46、 test, load and displacement data is to becollected to define the entire material curve. All relevanthysteresis and/or temperature effects on the material responsemust be included.6.1.3.2 When testing for material properties, extreme careshould be taken to ensure accurate measurements using suit-abl

47、e fixturing and appropriately calibrated devices for measur-ing both load and displacement.6.1.3.3 If warranted by the material, the material curve(s)should be measured at the appropriate temperature(s) of theintended use. The effects of temperature on the materialresponse are extremely critical for

48、 superelastic alloys. Differ-ences in the material behavior in tension and compressionshould also be considered along with any load history depen-dent tension/compression asymmetry phenomena or workhardening of the material.6.1.4 Material Property Validation:6.1.4.1 The material mechanical property

49、values must beconverted into a format and form consistent with the finiteelement representation.6.1.4.2 Validation tests should be performed to validate thematerial model used in the analysis. The effects of the testspecimen size or shape (tube, wire, sheet) must be consideredin applying the material model to the validation model.6.1.4.3 A material validation test could include the determi-nation of the load-displacement behavior of a finite elementmodel of a simple tensile test. For example, a model is firstcreated of a simple geometric specimen of material us
