Design and Optimisation of Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffolds (BVS) Using SolidWorks and Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
Budget: $30 – $250 AUD
Project Description:
This project involves designing, developing, and theoretically optimising Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffolds (BVS) for treating Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). It requires using SolidWorks for 3D modeling and simulation, alongside Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for a theoretical assessment of mechanical performance under simulated physiological conditions.
Objectives and Scope:
The objective is to create theoretically sound designs based on current biomedical engineering principles. The project does not require the production of a physically working model but should be grounded in realistic assumptions that could potentially be applied in real-world scenarios.
Specific Requirements:
Designs: Two conceptual designs focusing on different structural patterns (helical and lattice) with modifications across five variables (e.g., strut thickness, overall diameter).
FEA: Theoretical analysis to evaluate design integrity and performance.
Documentation: Includes a simple screen recording of the modeling process and a written rationale for design choices.
Key Notes to Freelancers:
Academic Project: This is a university project aimed at exploring the potential of BVS designs. Perfect execution and real-world functionality are not expected, but the theory behind design choices should be logically sound and well-explained.
Flexibility: Given the academic nature, there's flexibility in design perfection and functionality. The focus is on demonstrating understanding and application of design principles rather than achieving a flawless design.
Theoretical Foundation: While the designs don’t need to be clinically viable, the choices made should be justifiable with current biomedical engineering theories and practices.
Deliverables:
SolidWorks design files for conceptual models.
Theoretical FEA reports summarising analysis findings.
Screen recording of the design and analysis process.
Report on design rationale, theoretical analysis results, and conceptual viability.
Ideal Freelancer Qualities:
Familiarity with academic projects and an understanding of their scope and limitations.
Strong foundational knowledge in SolidWorks and FEA, with an ability to apply these tools in a conceptual and theoretical context.
Good communication skills, especially in documenting and explaining design and analysis processes in an academic framework.
Timeline and Budget:
The project timeline and budget are open for discussion, with an emphasis on reasonable expectations given the academic nature of the work.
