Schematic of the PEEK-SP cross-sectional areas used in stress calculations. The processing increases cross-sectional areas due to the creation of pores. However, the load-bearing area, ALB, is representative of the initial area of PEEK material, assuming volume conservation. The total area, AT, is the sum of the load-bearing area and the area of the pore network, APORE.
