Abstract

With the growing rate of the COVID-19 case that has not decreased significantly, healthcare workers are required to work extra both in the hospital and for the corpses' funeral process. Since the corpse condition is different from a normal corpse, the treatment must also be different. The objective of this paper is to propose a portable device as an education tool that can ease the burial process of COVID-19 corpse. This device can be operated by only two people, and the load is bearable because there is a worm gear system that helps the pulley system. Other supporting features will be explained in this paper. Theoretical strength analyses are conducted under static and fatigue loading. From the static case, based on the Maximum Shear Stress failure criterion, the safety factors on the critical parts are 1.28 and 5.67. Then, fatigue strength analysis is conducted to provide life prediction for this device. As a result, the fatigue safety factors are found to be greater than 1. These findings indicate that the proposed design is appropriate for real-world use and can be further studied for manufacturing.

Abstract

This study aims to introduce a rapid and precise fabrication technique of lumbar vertebrae model that mimics the cortical and cancellous parts of the bone using polylactic acid (PLA) and polyurethane (PU) foam, respectively. An FDM 3D-printing using PLA filament was utilized to fabricate the cortical part, then PU foam was molded into the printed cortical to form the cancellous part. The fabricated model was examined by comparing its dimensions with the stereolithography (STL) model. Sequentially, density measurement, compressive test, and microstructure observation were performed to evaluate the specimen characteristics. The results showed that the dimensions of the vertebrae model agreed well with the STL model, with a discrepancy of less than 4%. The fabricated PU samples exhibited a density in the range of 476–557 kg/m³, elastic moduli of 3.99–7.17 MPa, and a pore size of 136.66–179.80 µm, which are lower than the properties of human bone. Despite that, the PU samples maintain their compressive strength of 0.329–0.589 MPa, which is within the range of cancellous human bone.
