2. A concept for an embolic protection device involves a group of wires that deploy from a catheter in a semicircular shape to form a strut-like structure (similar to an umbrella). These struts would then be covered with a thin permeable mesh to allow blood flow but would collect clots and other debris. Fc0,078 - 1.00" Find the wire diameter, t, for a) nitinol and b) 316 SS so that the wire frame may be deployed and retracted with no material yielding. Fornitinol, use 6% maximum strain (rather than calculating the strain using properties). For the 316 SS, use the wire table in the main reading and select the maximum yield value for a particular wire diameter and use 29 X 10 ps for the elastic modulus The radius, R. is to the inside of the arc, as is the 1.00 in distance. Assume that the wires are straight when inside the tube (disregard the 0.078 in ID) (30 points)
