Journal ArticleDOI
Rationally designed meta-implants: a combination of auxetic and conventional meta-biomaterials
H.M.A. Kolken,S. Janbaz,Sander Leeflang,Karel Lietaert,Harrie Weinans,Harrie Weinans,Amir A. Zadpoor +6 more
TL;DR: Full-field strain measurements clearly show that, under biomechanical loading, hybrid meta-implants press onto the bone on both the medial and lateral sides, thereby improving implant–bone contact and potentially implant longevity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Topological design, permeability and mechanical behavior of additively manufactured functionally graded porous metallic biomaterials.
TL;DR: The study clearly demonstrated the capabilities of combined experimental and computational methods to resolve the uncertainties of the mechanical behavior of FGPBs, which would open up the possibilities of applying various porosity variation strategies for the design of biomimetic AM porous biomaterials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of subtransus heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V alloy
TL;DR: In this article, an optimum post-SLM heat treatment scheme at a temperature below the β transus temperature was proposed based on the understanding of microstructure evolution occurring during subtransus treatment and the resultant mechanical properties of the alloy.
Journal ArticleDOI
From microstructural design to surface engineering: A tailored approach for improving fatigue life of additively manufactured meta-biomaterials.
S.M. Ahmadi,R. Kumar,Evgenii Borisov,Roumen Petrov,Sander Leeflang,Y. Li,N. Tümer,R. Huizenga,Can Ayas,Amir A. Zadpoor,Vera Popovich +10 more
TL;DR: The findings show that fatigue life is significantly improved by applying developed herein novel method, which effortlessly can be used on other bone-mimicking metallic meta-biomaterials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Study on the Mg-Li-Zn ternary alloy system with improved mechanical properties, good degradation performance and different responses to cells.
TL;DR: The results indicated the potential of the Mg-Li-Zn alloys as good candidate materials for cardiovascular stent applications, with much improved mechanical properties higher than most reported binary M g-Li and ternary Mg -Li-X alloys, with superior corrosion resistance in cell culture media.
