4.10 Force and Strain Calculations

The relationships between stress, load, deflection, and strain have been thoroughly docu-mented for a variety of beam loading conditions. Force and strain related to a specifiedstrut deflection are based on the formulation for a beam fixed at one end, and free butguided at the other as documented in Machinery’s Handbook [1].

E = modulus of elasticity

I = moment of inertia, beam cross sectionw = strut widthL = strut length

Fhoop is the hoop component of the force exerted by a single strut when the stent isconstrained from the fully expanded state to the analysis diameter. This is equal to Fin Figure 4.5 by the definition of the ”free but guided” beam as described in Machinery’s

Handbook [1].

Fhoop 1mm is the hoop component of the force exerted by a single strut when the stentis constrained from the fully expanded state to a diameter one millimeter less than theanalysis diameter. This allows for later calculation of stent forces normalized per millimeterdiameter constraint.

4.11 Pressure and Stiffness Calculations

In this section, the forces and other calculations derived above are used to estimate radialresistive force in terms that are common for bench testing.

RFhoop is the hoop component of the force exerted when the stent is constrained from thefully expanded state to 1mm less than the expansion diameter, normalized by length incentimeters. This value is consistent with radial resistive force type measurement (RRF)generated from a collar type fixture. By convention, it is expressed in terms of Newtonsper centimeter length, and is thus normalized by length.

RFtrf is the true radial component of the force exerted when the stent is constrained fromthe fully expanded state to 1mm less than the expanded diameter, normalized by length incentimeters. This value is consistent with radial resistive force type measurement (RRF)generated from a Blockwise or MSI type testing fixture. This is also expressed in terms ofnewtons per centimeter length, and is thus also normalized by length, and evaluated for a1mm diameter constraint.

Cardiovascular stents are widely used to treat a variety of vascular diseases. Hun-dreds of designs have been proposed, devel-oped, and commercialized since the 1990’s when these devices became commonplace in clinical practice. Competitive pressures in the commercial marketplace have been intense, and many battles have been waged relating to stent design intellectual property. Naturally, tools, techniques, and resources for stent design have been closely guarded and proprietary.

For all the differences between the myri-ad stents that have been designed and pro-duced over the years, the fundamental archi-tecture of most expandable stent designs is actually quite universal. Stents can be con-sidered to be an array of structural beams, connected in a series to form a circumfer-entially expandable spring. As such, these structures can be modeled using analytical tools to predict many relevant performance characteristics with reasonable accuracy.

Open Stent Design is a manuscript draft be-ing developed by NDC to provide general guidance for design and development of a simple, generic Nitinol stent. The manuscript and related resources are freely available to the community under a Creative Com-mons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 United States license. Resources provided include a detailed parametrically driven CAD solid

model to create flat and wrapped stent ge-ometry, available for download in its na-tive SolidWorks format. Also available are a spreadsheet based Stent Calculator appli-cation, which can be used to relate input parameters such as tubing diameter, strut length, strut width, and wall thickness to performance predictions including service strains, radial strength, and pulsatile fatigue performance. Additional resources in de-velopment include a Python script to au-tomate the stent calculator application, en-abling statistical interrogation of thousands of possible conditions within expected de-sign limits. Finite Element Analysis tem-plates are also being developed to comple-ment the analytical models.

These resources are provided freely to the community to make stent development eas-ier and more approachable for new entrants in the field, and thus encourage continuing innovation, improvements, and progress. We hope that these tools are especially help-ful for researchers in academia seeking to study stents and related structures, and re-lated biomechanics, fluid flow, or other phe-nomena.
