Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an effective treatment for Parkinson's disease. The insertion of brain tissue is an important procedure that affects the whole operation and the sequela. During the insertion process, the friction between the tissue and the needle shaft is the main factor affecting the degree of tissue damage and the accuracy of target location. Vibration-assisted needle insertion has been shown to reduce friction during needle insertion into biological tissue. LuGre model is a friction model that includes coulomb friction and viscous friction between two contact surfaces and accurately describes the Stribeck effect. This paper studies the influence of longitudinal vibration on the friction force during needle insertion. Based on LuGre model, the influence of longitudinal vibration parameters on friction force is discussed. Through experiments on porcine brain tissue and gel phantom, the friction force during insertion and the positive pressure of tissue against the needle under different vibration parameters were investigated. The experiment showed that the vibration can change the friction force by affecting the equivalent friction coefficient and the positive pressure of tissue against the needle. The equivalent friction coefficient showed a specific trend with the change of vibration parameters, while the positive pressure does not change with the vibration parameters.
