In this investigation of the electrode, the biomedical origin has been abstraction into mechanical problems. It is important to understand the studies only focus the mechanical behavior of the electrode, therefore, the applications of the studies are limited. The studies illustrate the quality of the electrode is mainly judged by its flexibility and longevity which are functions of the mechanical properties of the electrode and loading conditions. The mechanical properties of the electrode largely depend on the strand wire manufacturing process and the geometric configuration of the electrode. The residual stress which is a "by-product" from winding process largely affected the electrodes' fatigue life. Although the size of the double helix electrode is more than twice of the single helix electrode, it still becomes the best choice in terms of it's flexibility and life expectancy, both of which were proven by experiments and patient implantation. 1992 English text Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1056557546 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1056557546 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
