Optimization of the material of external fixator with FEM simulation

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Patients and surgeons with tibia fracture using external fixator are worried about a higher weight of metal fixator´s construction and therefore also poor manipulation ability with this tool [1]. During the last few years the bone tissue engineering has improved significantly and along with that also material development has increased [2,3]. Therefore patients requirements can be achieved by optimizing the material composition of this product. The main objective of this research is a weight reduction by material and design changes of the external fixator. Another aim is the evaluation of the final model. The model of innovative fixator was created and also computed in software CATIA V5-6 using finite element method simulation. Appropriate forces were applied and the simulation was performed. Results of FEM simulation indicate that the final weight of complete product declined significantly after application of carbon-fiber composite. Test results also suggest that the rigidity and the stability of complete fixator are safe. Hence this research describes that application of carbon fiber composite into the external fixator design is an important improvement of the external fixator.
