Abstract:
The mechanical behaviour of different plastics (PE, PP, PI, PA, ABS, POM) was examined by static and dynamic loading. Detection of microdeformations and photoelastic stress analysis served as the examination method. According to the results, polyethylene is unsuitable, however the other plastics, with clauses, are suitable as shock absorbers. Apart from the mechanical investigation photoelastic stress analysis also revealed the benefit of osseointegration in force transmission to the bone.
