The effectiveness of magnesium (Mg) alloys to improve the capability of bone tissue generation may be severely diminished if the required mechanical properties are not provided. Here, the effort is directed to model the mechanical performance of severely plastically deformed biodegradable ZK60 Mg alloy in bone regeneration protocols. For this purpose, the effects of parallel tubular channel angular pressing (PTCAP) on yield strength (σYS), ultimate tensile strength (σUTS), and elongation to failure (δ) were addressed. Given the multifaceted variables of the PTCAP with nonlinear interactions, a precise determination of the mechanical properties requires a large number of experiments. Therefore, gene expression programming (GEP) and genetic programming (GP) models were proposed to achieve appropriate combinations of mechanical properties for bone implant purposes based on a rational hypothesis that for correlation coefficient (|R|) higher than 0.8, a strong correlation is established between the predicted and measured values. The results verified that the highest mechanical performance was achieved at the second pass of PTCAP, thus has a great potential to be the most promising candidate for biodegradable implant material. Besides, the proposed models were capable of precisely predicting the mechanical performance of the SPD-processed biodegradable ZK60 Mg.
Various defects of additive manufacturing (AM) components seriously impact their performance, which restricts the industry’s development process. Therefore, component defects should be classified quickly and treated in different ways. The...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
