Abstract
This paper presents dynamic tests that are performed on swine ribs. TEMARI (TEsting MAchine for Artificial RIbs) machine has been modified in order to set up and adapt an osteosynthesis implant in a fractured swine rib under load conditions emulating the respiratory cycle in a human being. The method for analyzing innovative implants is work ed out as based on strain gauge arrangements on the swine rib under testing with data acquisition system MM01-350 USB of Micro-Measurements. The test results are discussed in terms of motion characteristics of the specimen as well as the forces of compression and reaction on it during each compression cycle.
