Finite Element Simulation on the Mechanical and Electrical Properties of Double-Sided Microelectrode Array Chip
To guide the electrode implantation in the deep-brain stimulation(DBS)animal experiments and the selection of stimulation parameters after implantation
the mechanical properties of interaction between electrode and brain tissues in the process of implantation as well as the electrical properties under current stimulation after implantation were explored by finite element modeling and simulation. Using the finite element modeling software Comsol Multiphysics
the electrode was modeled based on micro cantilever beam structure
and the brain tissue was simplified as isotropic cylinder for ease of analyzing and solving the problem. Then the meshes were generated according to the material properties of electrode and brain tissue
the simulation requirements and the size of model. Finally
the simulation results were obtained by the solver. The mechanical simulation showed that the electrode reached its ultimate strength when the load applied on its tip was 0.14 N
and the dura was punctured when its displacement deformation reached 0.8 mm and the thrust value arrived 0.06 N in the process of implantation. The electrical simulation showed that under double-sided bipolar stimulation
the stimulus range in the three-dimensional directions increased at the same ratio when the stimulus current was raised. Comparing different stimulation patterns
the current streamline curvature and convergence degrees of single-sided stimulus are larger than that of double-sided stimulus
leading to a decrease in the stimulus range. This impact on the stimulus effect was greater than changing the distance between stimulus contact and reference contact. These results were justified effective and reliable by animal experiments.
