The biological objectives of root canal treatment have not changed over the recentdecades, but the methods to attain these goals have been greatly modified. Theintroduction of NiTi rotary files represents a major leap in the development ofendodontic instruments, with a wide variety of sophisticated instruments presentlyavailable (1, 2).Whatever their modification or improvement, all of these instruments have onething in common: they consist of a metal core with some type of rotating blade thatmachines the canal with a circular motion using flutes to carry the dentin chips anddebris coronally. Consequently, all rotary NiTi files will machine the root canal to acylindrical bore with a circular cross-section if the clinician applies them in a strictboring manner

This paper discusses the large-displacement flexural-torsional behavior of a straight elastic beam with uniform circular cross-section subject to arbitrary terminal bending and twisting moments. The beam is assumed to be free from any kinematic constraints at both ends. The equilibrium equation is solved analytically with the full expression for curvature to obtain the deformed configuration in a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. The results show the influence of the terminal moments on the beam’s deflected configuration.

Granular Simulation

Three-dimensional, transient turbulent particulate flow in an FCC riser is modeled using an Eulerian/Granular approach. The turbulence in the gas phase is described by a modified realizable (kg-?g) closure model and the kinetic theory of granular flow (KTGF) is employed for the particulate phase. Separate simulations are conducted for a rectangular and a cylindrical riser with similar dimensions. The model predictions are validated against experimental data of Sommerfeld et al (2002) and also compared with the previously reported LES-KTGF simulations of Hansen et al (2003) for the rectangular riser. The (kg-?g)-KTGF model does not perform as well as the LES-KTGF model for the riser with a rectangular cross section. This is because, unlike the more elaborate LES-KTGF model, the simpler (kg-?g)-KTGF model cannot capture the large scale secondary circulations induced by anisotropic turbulence at the corners of the rectangular riser. In the cylindrical geometry, however, the (kg-?g)-KTGF model gives good prediction of the data and is a viable alternative to the more complex LES-KTGF model. This is not surprising as the circulations in the riser with a circular cross section are due to the curvature of the walls and not due to the presence of sharp corners.

The large energy consumption of membrane desalination process has encouraged researchers to explore different spacer designs using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for maximizing permeate per unit of energy consumed. In previous studies of zigzag spacer designs, the filaments are modeled as circular cross sections in a two-dimensional geometry under the assumption that the flow is oriented normal to the filaments. In this work, we consider the 45° orientation of the flow towards the three-dimensional zigzag spacer unit, which projects the circular cross section of the filament as elliptical in a simplified two-dimensional domain. OpenFOAM was used to simulate the mass transfer enhancement in a reverse-osmosis desalination unit employing spiral wound membranes lined with zigzag spacer filaments. Properties that impact the concentration polarization and hence permeate flux were analyzed in the domain with elliptical filaments as well as a domain with circular filaments to draw suitable comparisons. The range of variation in characteristic parameters across the domain between the two different configurations is determined. It was concluded that ignoring the elliptical projection of circular filaments to the flow direction, can introduce significant margin of error in the estimation of mass transfer coefficient.

A system of approximate, one-dimensional equations is derived for axially symmetric motions of an elastic rod of circular cross section. The equations take into account the coupling between longitudinal, axial shear, and radial modes. The spectrum of frequencies for real, imaginary, and complex wave numbers in an infinite rod is explored in detail and compared with the analogous solution of the three-dimensional equations.

The paper introduces the circular cross-section corner-filleted flexure hinges as connectors in three-dimensional compliant mechanism applications. Compliance factors are derived analytically for bending, axial loading and torsion. A circular cross-section corner-filleted flexure hinge belongs to a domain delimited by the cylinder (no fillet) and the right circular cross-section flexure hinge (maximum fillet radius). The analytical model predictions are confirmed by finite element simulation and experimental measurements. The circular cross-section corner-filleted flexure hinges are characterized in terms of their compliance, precision of rotation and stress levels.

This study investigates pressure drop associated with water liquid single-phase flow across an array of staggered micro-pin-fins having circular cross-section. The micro-pin-fins are micro-end milled out of oxygen free copper and have the following dimensions: 180 micron diameter and 683 micron height. The longitudinal pitch and transverse pitch are equal to 400 microns. Seven water inlet temperatures from 22 to 80 °C, and seventeen maximum mass velocities for each inlet temperature, ranging from 159 to 1475 kg/m2s, were tested. The test module was well insulated to maintain adiabatic conditions. The experimental results were compared to those from a micro-pin-fin array having similar size and geometrical arrangement but a square cross-section. The circular micro-pin-fins were seen to yield a significantly lower pressure drop than the square micro-pin-fins. The present experimental results were also compared with the predictions of several friction factor correlations as well as the results from a three-dimensional numerical analysis. Neither was able to accurately predict the experimental data.

The extrusion of section from round billet poses a great challenge for theoretical modeling of the process using upper bound method. The greatest difficulty in three-dimensional upper bound method is to determine kinematically admissible velocity field. The SERR (Spatial Elementary Rigid Region) technique is fairly applicable for analyzing extrusion of sections having re-entrant corners. A modified version of SERR technique has been used for extrusion of octagon sections from round billet through a linearly converging die. The circular cross section of the round billet is approximated by a regular polygon of equal area. The extrusion pressure has been computed for different boundary condition at the die billet interface. The optimum die geometry has been determined.
