Abstract
Current research on the fatigue properties of degradable zinc alloy stents has not yet considered the issue of the fatigue life changing with material properties during the dynamic degradation process. Therefore, in this paper, we established a fatigue damage algorithm to study the fatigue problem affected by the changing of material properties during the dynamic degradation process of the stent under the action of pulsating cyclic loading. Three models: the dynamic degradation model, the dynamic degradation model under pulsating cyclic loading, and the coupled model of fatigue damage and dynamic degradation, were developed to verify the effect of fatigue damage on stent life. The results show that fatigue damage leads to a deeper degree of inhomogeneous degradation of the stent, which affects the service life of the stent. Fatigue damage is a factor that cannot be ignored. Therefore, when studying the mechanical properties and lifetime of degradable stents, incorporating fatigue damage into the study can help more accurately assess the lifetime of the stents.
