- Title
DESIGN AND NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF FACE MASK POLYMER SHIELD AGAINST INFECTIOUS DISEASES.
- Abstract
Viruses that cause infections spread very quickly and has a fatal risk to people with chronic diseases. Since the virus vaccine and the drugs to be used in treatment are not fully developed, alternative ways to protect from the virus are being investigated. The Covid-19 virus has been recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a pandemic. In this study, the effect of face mask shield against Covid-19 and other infections were investigated using finite element analysis (FEA). Three-dimensional model of the conventional face mask, equipment and shield was performed with the SolidWorks software. Computer-aided simulations were performed using AnsysWorkbench explicit dynamics module. The loading, boundary conditions and material properties were defined in the AnsysWorkbench. The effects of droplets formed because of cough or sneezing on the human model with mask and shield were analyzed. It has been confirmed from the analyzes that both the mask and the shield are effective against the virus.
