Investigation of Pore Structures on Mechanical Properties of Porous Ti by 3D Finite Element Models

Abstract:

The pore structures on mechanical properties of porous Ti were investigated by 3D finite element models. Calculated elastic modulus and yield strength suggested that square-pore models exhibit lower modulus and higher strength compared with another two kinds of shapes (circle and hexagonal). In addition, under the condition of medium porosity (58.96%), integrated property was found in square-pore model which elastic modulus was 26.97GPa, less than 1/3 of hexagonal-pore model; while the yield strength maintained 63.82MPa, doubled the figure of circle-pore model. Thus, models with square-pore structures show potential perspective as hard tissue replacements. Investigation on anisotropy of microstructure implies that the elastic modulus was affected more intensively than the yield strength.
