Abstract:The usability of flexible electrodes in moving environment is limited due to different mechanical characteristics of their metallic and polymeric components. To achieve structure compatible electrodes, all used materials need to have similar Young’s moduli as the surrounding tissue. This paper describes the characterization of macroscopic as well as miniaturized electrodes entirely made out of modified silicone (PDMS). Electrochemical, mechanical, biological, optical, and applicative methods were used. It could be shown, that PDMS electrodes are capable to be used for recording electrocardiograms with similar form and amplitude as with standard electrodes.

The local interpretation of microfinite element (μFE) simulations plays a pivotal role for studying bone structure–function relationships such as failure processes and bone remodeling. In the past μFE simulations have been successfully validated on the apparent level, however, at the tissue level validations are sparse and less promising. Furthermore, intratrabecular heterogeneity of the material properties has been shown by experimental studies. We proposed an inverse μFE algorithm that iteratively changes the tissue level Young’s moduli such that the μFE simulation matches the experimental strain measurements. The algorithm is setup as a feedback loop where the modulus is iteratively adapted until the simulated strain matches the experimental strain. The experimental strain of human trabecular bone specimens was calculated from time-lapsed images that were gained by combining mechanical testing and synchrotron radiation microcomputed tomography (SRμCT). The inverse μFE algorithm was able to iterate the heterogeneous distribution of moduli such that the resulting μFE simulations matched artificially generated and experimentally measured strains.

The development of flexible, viscoelastic materials for consumer 3D printers has provided the opportunity for a wide range of devices with damping behavior such as tuned vibration isolators to be innovatively developed and inexpensively manufactured. However, there is currently little information available about the dynamic behavior of these 3D printed materials necessary for modeling of dynamic behavior prior to print. In order to fully utilize these promising materials, a deeper understanding of the material properties, and the subsequent dynamic behavior is critical. This study evaluates the use of three different types of models: transient response, frequency response and hysteretic response to predict the dynamic behavior of viscoelastic 3D printed materials based on static and dynamic material properties. Models of viscoelastic materials are presented and verified experimentally using two 3D printable materials and two traditional viscoelastic materials. The experimental response of each of the materials shows agreement with the modeled behavior, and underscores the need for improved characterization of the dynamic properties of viscoelastic 3D printable materials.
