Abstract:The implant of self‐expandable Ni‐Ti stents for the treatment of peripheral diseases has become an established medical practice. However, the reported failure in clinics highlights the open issue of the fatigue characterization of these devices. One of the most common approaches for calculating the Ni‐Ti fatigue limit (commonly defined in terms of mean and alternate strain for a fixed number of cycles) consists of using surrogate specimens which replicate the strain distributions of the final device but in sim… Show more
