摘要

摘要: 为探究镍钛合金血管支架植入下肢动脉后产生断裂失效的原因，对Absolute Pro下肢动脉支架在多级载荷耦合作用下的疲劳性能进行研究。利用有限元方法对镍钛合金支架在一级(生理脉动、轴向拉伸、压缩、弯曲、扭转)、二级(拉-弯、拉-扭、压-弯、压-扭、弯-扭)和三级(拉-弯-扭、压-弯-扭)载荷下分别进行数值模拟，基于应变法评价支架的疲劳强度，采用名义应力法和断裂力学进行疲劳寿命预测。经疲劳性能分析发现，一级载荷和部分多级载荷下的支架疲劳强度均满足10年疲劳寿命的要求，其中二级载荷的拉-弯和三级载荷的拉-弯-扭下最大交变应变大于疲劳极限，易产生应力集中导致疲劳失效；寿命云图和安全系数显示，在一级载荷下，压缩载荷对支架寿命的影响最大，脉动载荷最小，在二级载荷下，拉-弯载荷影响最大，弯-扭载荷影响最小，在三级载荷下拉-弯-扭对支架寿命的影响大于压-弯-扭；基于断裂力学寿命预测发现，初始裂纹的大小对支架的寿命有显著的影响。该研究结果揭示了多级载荷对支架疲劳强度和寿命的影响，为支架的临床断裂失效机理提供理论参考。

Abstract: To explore the reason of fracture failure after Nitinol stent implantation in lower limb artery, the fatigue performance of Absolute Pro lower limb artery stent under multi-level load coupling was studied. The finite element method was used to simulate the Nitinol stent under primary (axial tensile, compression, bending, torsion, physiological pulsating cycle), secondary (tensile-bending, tensile-torsion, compression-bending, compression-torsion, bend-torsion) and third (tensile-bend-torsion, compression-bend-torsion) loads, The fatigue strength of the stent was evaluated by strain method, and the fatigue life was predicted by nominal stress method and fracture mechanics. The analysis of fatigue performance shows that the fatigue strength of the stent under the primary load and some multi-level loads can meet the requirements of 10-year fatigue life. The maximum alternate strains under the tension-bending of the second load and the tension-bending-torsion of the third load are greater than the fatigue limits, which leads to the stress concentration and fatigue failure; The life cloud diagram and safety factor show that the compressive load has the greatest influence on the stent life, and the physiological pulsating load is the smallest under the primary load; The tension-bending load has the greatest influence and the bending-torsion load has the least influence under the second load, and the tension-bending-torsion load has greater influence on the stent life than the compression-bending-torsion load under the third load. Based on fracture mechanics life prediction, it is found that the size of initial crack has a significant effect on the life of stent. The results reveal the influence of multi-level loads on the fatigue strength and life of stent, and provide theoretical reference for the clinical fracture failure mechanism of stents.
