Abstract

The mechanical properties of tubular braided structures influence their inherent performance during application as biomedical materials. In their use as stents, braided structures are forced to conform to the topology of the host tissues. Triaxial braided structures have had limited use in tissue repair and organ support even though they have the potential of offering equal if not better performance compared to bi-axial braided structures. A study of the mechanical dynamics of tri-axial braids would be crucial in the potential design of customised structures for advanced tissue repair and organ support. This study therefore uses Finite Element Methods (FEM) to design and develop triaxial braided structures and investigate their crimping behaviour using parametric modeling and numerical analysis in their potential application as biomedical materials. The results in this study portrayed that the presence of axial yarns in tubular braided structure offers improved performance in terms of stability of the structure.
