The defects type studied in this article is scratch, which is considered a typical defect on fixed plate according to the engineering practice. The general approach to the defects tolerance analysis of scratched fixed plate is presented. The method of fatigue life prediction for standard notched specimens has been established on the basis of continuum damage mechanics. For the purpose of obtaining the influence law of fatigue life in consequence of scratches, fatigue experiments of standard notched specimens and scratched specimens have been done. Evalu- ation of the fatigue life of scratched fixed plate has been carried out. And the value of scratch defects permissible to the condition of safety service life has been worked out. According to the results of the- oretical calculations, the fatigue experiment of scratched fixed plate has been performed. The outcome shows that the theoretical prediction tallies with the experimental results.展开更多

The plates were removed 2 months after implantation in 20 plated animals. Of them, 4 were sacrificed immediately after plate removal and the other 16 were killed in successive groups with 4 in each group 1,2,3 and 4 months after plate removal respectively. The remaining 4 plated animals were killed at 6 months after implantation. Bone samples under the plates were harvested and prepared for polarized light microscopy to investigate the repair of the regional osteoporosis induced by rigid implant. The results indicated that the regional osteoporosis could recover gradually after plate removal. The repair process manifested itself mainly as the repair of resorption cavities and the remodeling of collagen fibers. The orientation of the collagen fibers remained disorganized when the resorption cavities had been repaired. It is suggested that delayed restoration of bone structure might be one of the potential causes of refracture after removal of the rigid implant.展开更多
