Evaluation on mechanical properties of 3d flexible meshed gum metal plate implants

Abstract eng:
Present metal-alloy artificial bones for bone grafts like herniated intervertebral disc applications have the problems like too heavy, excessive elastic modulus and stiffness compared with natural bones. In our study, meshed gum metal plates are introduced having light-weight and high three-dimensional flexibility in order to solve such kind of problems. Different basic mesh shapes were designed using 3D-CAD tools from the viewpoints of light-weight, higher flexibility and durability. Evaluations of mechanical properties on such meshed gum metal plates were executed experimentally and analytically by comparisons with the natural bones’ mechanical properties and the results are reported in this study.
