| Summary: | The main objective of this paper is to describe the development of a prototype of human bone (cortical
rib), tacuaras from bamboo; plant genus representative of Andean forests of Latin American and
Asian countries, and the evaluation of the mechanical properties of this material for the development
of a biomaterial. The treatment of the raw material for prototype development and mechanical
characterizations from tensile, compression and hardness are shown here. This work shows the static
mechanical properties of a biomaterial created from bamboo branches and cobalted resin, their response
to different loads and their possible use for the design of prostheses. The results show that the material
under test can be classified as linear elastic material, with a hardness of 17.2HV, which compared with
an actual bone hardness is considered as a medium hardness and with a deformation similar to bone
dry real 2.75 ± 0.72%. Additionally, the material shown a maximum tensile stress of 11.98 ± 2.57MPa,
which is between the range of 8-50MPa, corresponding to real trabecular bone. |
