Publikation Three-dimensional printed hydroxyapatite bone substitutes designed by a novel periodic minimal surface algorithm are highly osteoconductive(Liebert, 2023) Maevskaia, Ekaterina; Khera, Nupur; Ghayor, Chafik; Bhattacharya, Indranil; Guerrero, Julien; Nicholls, Flora; Waldvogel, Christian; Bärtschi, Ralph; Fritschi, Lea; Salamon, Dániel; Özcan, Mutlu; Malgaroli, Patrick; Seiler, Daniel; de Wild, Michael; Weber, Franz E.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation Topology-optimized patient-specific osteosynthesis plates(De Gruyter, 02.09.2022) Maintz, Michaela; Seiler, Daniel; Thieringer, Florian M.; de Wild, MichaelPatient-specific osteosynthesis plates can be used to reduce complications related to bone fracture treatment, such as infection, malocclusion and fatigue fractures of plates and screws. However, the implant design process is tedious. We propose a semi-automatic workflow to computationally design patient-specific titanium osteosynthesis plates for mandibular angle fractures. In this process, the plate stiffness is maximized while the mass is reduced. Two plate designs with different numbers of screw holes (implant #1 with four holes, implant #2 with eight holes) were generated with identical topology optimization settings and compared in a finite element model simulating various biomechanical masticatory loads. Differences in von Mises stresses in the implants and screws were observed. The load case of clenching the jaw on the opposite side of the fracture showed the highest stress distribution in implant #1 and higher peak stresses in implant #2. Stress concentrations were observed in sharp corners of the implant and could be reduced using local stress-based topology optimization. We conclude that the design process is an effective method to generate patientspecific implants.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation Development of models for additively manufactured actuators using compliant Wren mechanism(Elsevier, 11/2021) Lennart, Rubbert; Schuler, Felix; Gayral, Thibault; de Wild, Michael; Renaud, PierreCompliant Wren mechanisms (CWM) constitute specific compliant structures of particular interest. Derived from Wren mechanisms, they can exhibit a large variety of motions, from quasi translation to quasi rotation. In this paper, the development of models for the analysis and synthesis of CWM is considered. A kinematic model is introduced first to assess all possible motions when used as an actuator. Then the static model and stress expressions are derived to help their design. These derivations are achieved for two types of geometries, corresponding to the geometries of interest. CWM are filigree structures, whose manufacturing is difficult to consider without additive manufacturing. A specific work on their production using selective laser melting (SLM) is then achieved to ensure the reliability of their production. As a proof of concept, a pneumatically actuated component is then developed and tested. It is composed of two CWM of different geometries. It offers the possibility to obtain translation and rotation using a single pressure input. The developed models are investigated using finite element models and experiments using additively manufactured structures.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
