The article “Towards a Fracture Mechanics-Based Assessment for Fatigue Life
Prediction of Ni–Ti Stents”, authored by Alma Brambilla, PhD candidate at the
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (DICA) of Politecnico di
Milano, together with Professor Lorenza Petrini, faculty member at DICA, has
been awarded the “Best Paper 2024” by the scientific journal Shape Memory and
Superelasticity.
The work, carried out in collaboration with Dr. Francesca Berti and Professor
Luca Patriarca—both affiliated with Politecnico di Milano—proposes an innovative
approach for predicting the fatigue life of biomedical stents made of
nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) alloy. The methodology combines analytical and numerical
models and is validated through experimental testing.
