  • A numerical evaluation of SAR distribution and temperature changes around a metallic Plate in the head of a RF exposed worker
    Wiley-Liss, 2005
    Co-Authors: Mcintosh, Robert L., Anderson Vitas, Mckenzie, Raymond J.
    Abstract:

    The 1998 International Commission for Non-Ionising Radiation (ICNIRP) Guidelines for human exposure to radiofrequency (RF) fields contain a recommendation to assess the potential impact of metallic implants in workers exposed up to the allowable occupational field limits. This study provides an example of how numerical electromagnetic (EM) and thermal modelling can be used to determine whether scattered RF fields around metallic implants in workers exposed to allowable occupational ambient field limits will comply with the recommendations of relevant standards and guidelines. A case study is performed for plane wave exposures of a 50 mm diameter titanium Cranioplasty Plate, implanted around 5-6 mm under the surface of the forehead. The level of exposures was set to the ambient power flux density limits for occupational exposures specified in the 1998 ICNIRP guidelines and the current 1999 IEEE C95.1 standard over the frequency range 100-3000 MHz. Two distinct peak responses were observed. There was a resonant response for the whole implant at 200-300 MHz where the maximum dimension of the implant is around a third of the wavelength of the RF exposure. This, however, resulted in relatively low peak specific energy absorption rate (SAR) levels around the implant at the exposure limits. Between 2100-2800 MHz, a second SAR concentrating mechanism of constructive interference of the wave reflected back and forth between the air-scalp interface and the scalp-Plate interface resulted in higher peak SARs that were within the allowable limits for the ICNIRP exposures, but not for the IEEE C95.1 exposures. Moreover, the IEEE peak SAR limits were also exceeded, to a lesser degree, even when the implant was not present. However, thermal modelling indicated that the peak SAR concentrations around the implant did not result in any peak temperature rise above 1 °C for occupational exposures recommended in the ICNIRP guidelines, and hence would not pose any significant health risk

  • Punch Tool Speed and Material Effect on Keychain Cranioplasty Plate Dimensions Using Finite Element Method
    Key Engineering Materials, 2020
    Co-Authors: Didin Zakariya Lubis, Aminnudin, Andi Hajisah Perwira
    Abstract:

    This article explained the tolerance analysis method in the micro-manufacture area on the keychain Cranioplasty Plate product dimensions. This research aimed to compare the simulations of keychain Cranioplasty Plate product dimensions using the ISO 286 tolerance standard. The manufacturing process to produce the keychain Cranioplasty Plate used the blanking process. The dimensions analysis aimed to observe the effect of punching speed and tool punch material on the product’s quality. The ISO 286 tolerance on blanking product used IT Grade of 10 for the punching process. The keychain Cranioplasty Plate dimensions from the blanking process simulation had an excellent quality if the sizes were close to the actual product’s dimensions. The keychain Cranioplasty Plate product had to have a high precision level between 10–100 μm so that the medical field could use it.
