“…The three optimization variables were the input of the finite element model, and the algorithm applied in the optimization analysis was further illustrated in Supplementary Figure S1 in the Supplementary material ( Zhou et al, 2013 ; López et al, 2017 ; Shang et al, 2019 ). The impact of the three optimization parameters on the optimal object was analyzed using the response surface model (RSM) method ( Li et al, 2016 ; Patel and Gohel 2018 ; Li et al, 2019 ; Zhao et al, 2020 ).…”

In the interests of more flexible and less stiff bridge constructs to stimulate bone healing, the technique of far cortical locking has been designed to improve locked plating constructs in terms of stress concentration, stress shielding, and inhibition of issues around fracture healing. However, far cortical locking screws currently lack objective designs and anti-fatigue designs. This study investigates an optimization algorithm to form a special locking screw composed of various metals, which can theoretically achieve the maintenance of the excellent mechanical properties of far cortical locking constructs in terms of fracture internal fixation, while maintaining the biomechanical safety and fatigue resistance of the structure. The numerical results of our study indicate that the maximum von Mises stress of the optimized construct is less than the allowable stress of the material under each working condition while still achieving sufficient parallel interfragmentary motion. Numerical analysis of high cycle fatigue indicates that the optimized construct increases the safety factor to five. A high cycle fatigue test and defect analysis indicates that the sandwich locking constructs have better fatigue resistance. We conclude that the sandwich locking construct theoretically maintains its biomechanical safety and fatigue resistance while also maintaining excellent mechanical properties for fracture internal fixation.

Taguchi method (TM) and response surface methodology (RSM) have been employed to optimize three parameters, including the amounts of P123, the amounts of nitric acid and calcination temperature, in order to define an optimal setting for sol-gel synthesis of high surface area mesoporous alumina powder (MA). Herein, the comparison of the both statistical approaches has been examined and discussed considering the nitrogen adsorption as the response variable because this important character for mesoporous materials is exceedingly sensitive to the synthesis parameters. The BET surface area (S BET ) and pore volume of MA under Taguchi optimal condition were 323.5 m 2 g −1 and 0.551 cm 3 g −1 , respectively, by conducting confirmation test. Furthermore, the confirmation test showed high S BET of MA (363.4 m 2 g −1 ), which was in a good agreement with calculated S BET result (431.25 m 2 g −1 ) by a quadratic model under RSM optimal condition. Moreover, 3D response surface plots and 2D contour plots of desirability have been discussed to visualize the influence of input factors on response variable. It is also concluded that RSM shows more appropriate (12.33% higher S BET than TM) and efficient optimal condition with determining a quadratic function as the relationship between S BET and synthesis parameters.
