A Study on Performance and Safety Tests of Electrosurgical Equipment

Introduction: Modern medicine employs a wide variety of instruments with different physiological effects and measurements. Periodic verifications are routinely used in legal metrology for industrial measuring instruments. The correct operation of electrosurgical generators is essential to ensure patient’s safety and management of the risks associated with the use of high and low frequency ele...

Dynamic tensile tests on ferritic and austenitic steels with improved testing and measuring technique

For analysing dynamically loaded structures by means of the finite element method a dynamic constitutive material model is necessary to obtain reliable results. For this purpose dynamic tensile tests were performed with the fine grained steel 20MnMoNi 5 5 (A508 CI. 3) and the austenitic steel X6CrNi 18 11'at different velocities. Smooth round bar specimens of different geometries were used. Dis...
