描述(改编自申请人的摘要)：调查人员已 建立了应力分析和预测的数学模型。 镍钛对各种使用条件的反应。尼提诺是一种 形状恢复金属在各种生物医学中的应用 包括动脉支架。他们计划制作一种计算机辅助设计 基于其计算机模型的(CAD)工具。 建议的商业应用： 由镍钛(镍-钛)制成的医疗设备目前正在设计 基于经验和试错。该CAD软件提供了 设计性价比高的镍钛生物医学设备所需的工具 提高了性能。 尤其是用于不同动脉的镍钛合金支架的设计 植入后最小程度的再狭窄将是可行的 包的模拟。

DESCRIPTION (Adapted from applicant's abstract): The investigators have developed a mathematical model for stress analysis and prediction of the response of Nitinol to various in-service conditions. Nitinol is a shape recovery metallic used in a variety of biomedical applications including arterial stents. They plan to produce a computer aided design (CAD) tool based on their computer model. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: Medical devices made of Nitinol (Nickel-Titanium) are presently designed based on experience and trial & error. This CAD software provides the necessary tools to design cost-effective Nitinol biomedical devices with improved performance. In particular the design of Nitinol stents for various arteries with minimum restenosis after implantation will be feasible through using the simulation of the package.
