| Abstract Scope |
One of the largest problems in structural analyses of additively manufactured prosthetic sockets is the unpredictable failure behavior due to poor understanding of the anisotropic nature of the additively manufactured materials. In this study, we examined the macroscale and microscale failure of additively manufactured prosthetic sockets using a new characterization tool, 360˚ 3D-Digital Image Correlation. This tool is useful in the field of material science because it will allow us to study the deformation of highly anisotropic materials; with this method, we examined the strain distribution, including out of plane strain, on the entire surface of a 3D structure. Since the mechanical properties of many biological materials are strongly influenced by structural elements, we can use this tool to isolate the contributions of these structures. Future studies using this characterization tool could examine anisotropic biological materials with cellular, bouligand, or tubular structural elements. |
