Περίληψη:
The objective of the present study is the construction of a reliable
numerical model of the standard Ilizarov fixator that will permit a
detailed parametric investigation of various factors influencing the
effectiveness of the technique. Mechanical tests of a standard Ilizarov
frame were performed under axial and torsional loads. To eliminate the
pretension loss due to wire slippage metal nuts with M1.8 thread were
manufactured. A numerical analysis followed based on the Finite Element
Method. The model constructed simulated accurately all the geometrical
details of the experimental model, the load application mode ( axial and
torsional) and the mechanical characteristics of the materials used to
assemble the frame. Comparison of the predictions of the model with the
respective experimental data yields excellent agreement for the case of
tension and rather satisfactory one for torsion.
