“…The primary purpose of the AFEM technique presented in this study is to simulate the effect of chain scission on Young's modulus in the amorphous phase, which is studied in the accompanying paper [11]. This leads to a new mathematical model for Young's modulus degradation in biodegradation polymers.…”

“…Degradation of PLA and other aliphatic polyesters biomedical devices inside animal or human tissue is also controlled by hydrolytic mechanisms [134]. Biodegradable devices degrade slowly over time and eventually become absorbed by the body [135]. Many factors affecting hydrolytic degradation of polyesters in the environment (e.g., morphology, crystallinity, sample size, molecular weight) also affect hydrolytic degradation inside of body tissues.…”

“…Mathematical models can help to understand the degradation process and provide quantitative data during the whole degradation process for optimal device design. Pan and coworkers proposed models of Young's modulus change of biodegradable polymers during biodegradation, ranging from an entropy spring model, an atomic finite element model to a constitutive law for degrading bioresorbable polymers during degradation [12][13][14]. Shirazi et al [15] proposed a coupled model (coupling of elastic properties model and molecular weight model developed by Wang et al [16]) to simulate the mechanical behaviour of polymers during degradation.…”
