Bending strength
Bashar Shareef Ahmed Wael
Hussein Hashim
Bending strength
•
Bending strength or flexural strength, is the ability of a material to
resist a force which tries to bend the material. Denoted by sigma, and
measured by Mpa.
How-to-measure
•
It’s often measured using a three-point or four-point bending test.
•
In a three-point bending test. The material is applied to one axial load
at it’s center, and supported at 2 points.
•
The four-point test contains the same concept, except the load are
applied at 2 additional points, to create a more uniform stress
distribution.
Mathematical approach
•
It can be measured easily by the following equation:
•
where:
•
L: length of material
•
b:breadth of material
•
d: distance
Designing considerations
•
This material-property is an essential thing to be considered when
designing medical equipment some of them are:
•
1-material selection: choosing of material is crucial. The material
must be biocompatible, corrosion-resistant, possess appropriate
mechanical properties, including bending strength.
•
2- design and testing: in designing devices, a device must be designed
to maximize bending strength, and to distribute load evenly across
the structure of that device.
considerations
•
3- manufacturing and quality control: manufacturing process of
medical devices and implants should be carefully controlled to ensure
that the final product meet the required specifications, including
bending strength.
applications
•
it’s a very important property for materials used in implants and
medical devices, used to evaluate the ability of a material to
withstand bending loads:
•
1-Bone implants: plates, rods, screws, and etc, all are materials
require high consideration for the value of the bending strength.
•
2-dental implants: which are used to replace missing teeth and must
be able to withstand bending stresses caused by chewing and biting.
•
3-cardiovascular valves: some of people are born or may gain
distorted heart valve, which may result in the implantation of heart
valves-
applications
•
- which would be replaced by a surgery.
•
4- surgical instruments: such as scissors, forceps and retractors must
withstand relatively high bending force without breaking or
deforming, especially during surgery, which can be a life-threatening
problem.
