The great success of stents in treating cardiovascular disease is actually undermined by
their long-term fatigue failure. The high variability of stent failure incidence suggests that it is …

We propose herein a nondestructive surface modification technique called ultrasonic
nanocrystalline surface modification (UNSM) to increase the strength and to improve the …

The structure and properties of stainless austenitic steel coatings obtained by the supersonic
laser deposition are studied in the paper. Implantation of the powder particles into the …

This work investigates the fatigue performance of AlSi10Mg-based architected materials
fabricated using hybrid manufacturing and powder bed fusion (PBF) methods. For the …

This paper presents a methodology for the numerical fatigue-life assessment of
cardiovascular balloon-expandable stents. The methodology is based on a global …

In the present study, the effects of both the microstructure and voids on the high‐cycle
fatigue behaviour of the 316L austenitic stainless steel are investigated by using finite …

A multi-scale model is developed in this study for linking collective behavior of short and
long cracks to continuous average fatigue damage. By using the developed model, the …

The present paper introduces a methodology for the high-cycle fatigue design of balloon-
expandable stents. The proposed approach is based on a micromechanical model coupled …

This study focuses on the microscale fatigue properties of 316L stainless steel. This material
is commonly used in the manufacture of medical devices such as stents, which, once …

In the present study, Abaqus finite element modelling was used to explore the durability of
cardiovascular stent made of AISI 316L under bending loading. In order to achieve this …
