The article explains why it is necessary to deal with a mechanical stress in thin film coatings especially in multilayer systems. The published model’s properties are overviewed and a new alternative model of mechanical stress in multilayer is proposed. Both models are compared including the discussion of their advantages for utilization in different situations. and V článku jsou uvedeny důvody, proč je významné se zabývat mechanickým napětím tenkých vrstev, zejména systémem více vrstev. Shrnuje vlastnosti modelu uvedeného v literatuře a podává odvození alternativního popisu jednotlivých vrstev. Jsou porovnány oba přístupy a uvedeny výhody jejich použití v různých případech.
The aim of this study was to analyze the possibilities of various types of stent modeling and to develop some new models. A brief survey of basic properties of stents and a list of basic designs of stents is presented. Two approaches to stent modeling were identified. Structural mechanics is the theoretical background of our analytical model of a spiral stent. The finite element method was also used. The measurement equipment for model evaluation was developed., J. Záhora, A. Bezrouk, J. Hanuš., and Obsahuje bibliografii
