Inhomogeneity of deformed state during compression testing of titanium implant

This study examines the inhomogeneity of deformed state during compression testing of porous titanium implant. The theoretical part of the article includes numerical simulation of deformation of a prismatic titanium sample compressed with absolutely rigid plates. The porosity was provided by the circular shape pores with titanium struts between them. To solve the problem by means of the finite element analysis, the boundary conditions were set using the ABAQUS software. The fields of strain, stresses and displacements were determined. Presumable place of fracture coincide with the highest values of strain which are localized in vertical struts. Physical modeling of the implant compression was performed at the second part of the study on the testing machine with video recording. It was shown that in the real process the localization of failure corresponds to the calculated data
