Abstract:

In order to explore the stress distribution and friction loss of braided artificial ligaments of different structures under combined loading conditions in normal gait, finite element analysis method was used for calculation and analysis. According to the spiral trajectory and interweaving structure of the yarn in space, MatLab was used to calculate the discrete coordinate points in space which was then imported into Solidworks to build three-dimensional models. ABAQUS was used to assign material properties, boundary conditions, contact friction properties and calculate finite element analysis. The results show that the finite element simulation curve and the actual test curve had high agreement. When an external load was applied, the stress of the regular braided specimen was evenly distributed on the yarns in the two directions, while the stress of the tri-axial braided specimen was mainly concentrated on the shaft yarn. Moreover, tri-axial braided specimen was needed to resist more friction between the yarns. The research provides a theoretical reference for the optimal design of artificial ligaments.

Key words: artificial ligament, combined loading, three-dimensional model, finite element analysis, stress concentration, medical textiles
