Figure 15
Rotating bending fatigue strength vs. number of cycles to failure
(breaking of rod). On the left side results for 20 reference rods are
depicted. On the right side data for rods after spiral shaped laser
ablation (open symbols) and after laser-fixation of Ca10 (full symbols)
are given. Again, 20 samples of each rod type were used. Data from
(Symietz, 2012).
