For my BME 2700 Numerical Simulations class, I had to do a project with my partner Andy Denney as a FEM (Fundamental Engineering Modeling) project. We observed the structural deformation of biomedical stents. The original stent model was downloaded from the COMSOL application gallery in a file called the Shape Memory Alloy Self-Expanding Stent. The geometry of one of the work planes was altered to modify the stent in different forms of degradation. A Bezier polygon that connected points was used for the dent model and an ellipse was used for the hole model. Applications of union, split, and delete entities were used for both models to finalize the modification. Figure 1 below shows the original stent designs and the changes made to each design from a work plane perspective. Some key assumptions during the study were keeping the material of austenite constant throughout each model and that each functional unit of the stent would have the same mode of degradation for the whole stent. The material was kept constant since we aimed to observed the effect of degradation on a stent. Different materials could affect stress distributions in different ways, so a constant material is crucial to observe stress changes purely from degradation. The original model had the functional unit of the stent extruded and revolved to form the whole stent. Because of that, a modification made to one functional unit of the stent would impact every other unit of the stent.
