Abstract:The important role of inclusions for the fatigue behavior of Nitinol and the related service lifetime for medical devices is stated by numerous studies. Besides the well-known size effect on the fatigue limit, the corresponding crack initiation was observed preferably at particle-void-combinations. However, the detailed relationship of several geometrical inclusion properties and the resulting fatigue load remains not clear. To shed a light on this effects relationship, a numerical investigation was performed … Show more
