| Popis: | Chiral and reentrant metastructures with auxetic deformation abilities can serve as the building blocks in many industrial applications because of their light weight, high specific strength, energy absorption properties. In this paper, we report an innovative tubular-like structure by a combined mechanical effect of antichiral and reentrant. 2D antichiral-reentrant hybrid structures consisting of circular nodes and tangentially-connected ligaments are predesigned and fabricated using laser cutting technology with high-resolution. The elastic properties and auxeticity of the plane structure are analyzed and compared based on finite element analysis (FEA) and experimental results. For the first time, the antichiral-reentrant hybrid intravascular stents with the auxetic feature are proposed and parametric models are devised with good geometrical structure demonstrated. A series of large-scale stents are manufactured with stereolithography apparatus (SLA) additive manufacturing technique, and their mechanical behaviors are investigated in both experimental tests and FEA. As the selected antichiral-reentrant hybrid stents with tailored expansion ability are subjected to radial loading by the dilation of the balloon, stents undergo identifiable deformation mechanism due to the beam-like ligaments and circular node elements in the varied geometrical design, resulting in the distinct stress outcomes in plaque. It is also demonstrated that the antichiral-reentrant hybrid stents with tunable auxeticity possess robust mechanical properties through implantation inside the obstructed lesion. |
