Abstract Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate the distribution of stresses in osseointegrated crestal and basal implant in zygomatic region of maxilla and to identify the preferable implant option for better stress distribution. Material and Method The present in vitro study was performed to evaluate stress patterns in bone around basal and crestal dental implant under axial and oblique loading in maxillary zygomatic region with the help of a finite element analysis (FEA). To conduct this study, the following materials were used: computer software ANSYS, basal implants with dimensions 3.7 × 10 mm, and crestal implants with dimensions 3.7 x 10 mm. The amount of load transferred on the bone adjacent to the implant in an axial and transverse load of 100 N at 0 and 45 degrees, respectively, was placed on both types of implants. A three-dimensional (3D) scanner was use to generate 3D simulated model of basal and crestal implants. FEA modelling was generated that replicated the zygomatico maxillary region with special emphasis on bone architecture, bone density, angulation, width, and length of implant prototype. Further, material properties were defined for cortical bone, dense trabecular bone, low density trabecular bone, and titanium on the basis of Young’s modulus of elasticity. Results These values were used by FEA software (ANSYS) to generate a 3D mesh model of bone and implant. Finally, Von Mises (equivalent stress) (MPa) values on the implant were computed using FEA software. The values of maximum Von Mises equivalent stress on the implant collars, body, apex, and bony interface were obtained. Conclusion Maximum stresses were seen at the cortical bone with basal implant placed inside the bone. Stresses that are transferred more to the bone through implant promote bone remineralization. Maximum Von Mises stresses were observed on basal implant body. Thus, these greater stresses have the capacity to simulate mineralization in the cortical bone; this makes basal implant a suitable option for placement inside the cortical bone.

Nowadays, NiTi rotary endodontic files are of great importance due to their flexibility which enables the device to cover all the portions of curved canal of tooth. Although this class of files are flexible, intracanal separation might happen during canal preparation due to bending or torsional loadings of the file. Since fabrication and characterization of such devices is challenging, time-consuming, and expensive, it is preferable to predict this failure before fabrication using numerical models. It is demonstrated that NiTi shape memory alloy shows asymmetric material response in tension and compression which can significantly affect the lifetime of the files fabricated from. In this article, the effects of this material asymmetry on the bending response of rotary files are assessed using finite element analysis. To do so, a constitutive model which takes material asymmetry into account is used in combination with the finite element model of a RaCe file. The results show that the material asymmetry can significantly affect the maximum von Mises equivalent stress as well as the force–displacement response of the tip of this file.

In this paper, a rational stress limit based on the von Mises equivalent stress is established for pipelines subjected to internal pressure. This stress limit is based on the ASME pipeline Code’s design margin for the service and location of the installation [1, 2]. These Codes are recognized by 49 CRF192 [5]. Both capped-end and open end conditions are considered. The single value of stress limits can be derived by classical hand calculations for use in assessing the results of a finite element analysis (FEA). Two application examples are presented showing studies done with the ABAQUS [3], a commercial (FEA) software. A stress limit was first found using classical hand calculations and verified by a simple finite element model. The linearized stresses at some critical locations were then compared to the established stress limit, and multiples, for the assessments of membrane, membrane plus bending, etc. stresses. This paper is not intended to revise or replace any provision of ASME B31.8 [2]. Instead, it provides a rational stress limit that may be used in the assessment of detailed FEA analyses of pipelines and the associated components.

The stress distributed in the mid-bondline of the joints made of aluminium alloy and an epoxy adhesive was determined with the ANSYS software. The results from the FEA showed that the values of the peak stresses of the all the stress components (including the longitudinal stress Sx, the peel stress Sy, the shear stress Sxy, the 1st principal stress S1 and the von Mises equivalent stress Seqv) distributed in the mid-bondline are changed a little as the notch distance L was increased while the notch depth d was not great than 0.6mm. But the evidently changes occurred when the notch depth d was great than 0.9 mm for the stress Sx, Sy and S1 distributed in both the mid-bondline and the interface of the lap zone. When taken the stress distributed in the middle part of the lap zone into account, the peak stress at the point in the mid-bondline corresponding to the edge of the notch decreased firstly and then increased again as the notch distance L was increased from 0 mm to 8 mm. The proper geometry of the notch in the specimen was chosen by finite element analysis.

The lateral longitudinal beam is one of the most important mechanical parts in secondary protection equipment of electrical power system. Basing on the simulation analysis platform of ANSYS Workbench, the standardization of the modular hole of the lateral longitudinal beam is studied in this research. The static and dynamic finite element analysis of the lateral longitudinal beam are used to obtain Von-Mises equivalent stress, deformation data, the natural frequency and vibration mode of five orders. The contrastive analysis of the results of finite element analysis provides a kind of theoretical instruction for the dimension selection of the modular hole.

Historically, the guide cable system for installation of subsea oil production equipment has proven its efficiency. These cables extend from the rig to the wellhead, which are fixed to the guide base posts and will be subject to loads during the installation and operation of the production equipment. The majority of guide base designs have been calculated by analytical methods, although they allow obtaining exact answers in all infinite points of a structure, they are not applicable to all cases. This motivated the application of finite element analysis method (FEA) in this work, which from the development of approximate procedures can be applied regardless of the structure shape and loading conditions. This paper consists of a structural analysis of the guide base frame model, generated in Autodesk Inventor® software and analyzed in ANSYS® Workbench. The study brings a diagnostic research using a quantitative and exploratory approach. Different mathematical models were generated to obtain the results at the most critical points of the structure in order to determine its resistance to the loads applied during installation and operation, taking into account the criteria laid down in DNV 2.7-3, API 17D 1st Ed and von-Mises equivalent stress.

This paper is concerned with the membrane shell analysis of filament overwound toroidal pressure vessels and optimum design of such pressure vessels using the results of the analysis by means of mathematical nonlinear programming. The nature of the coupling between overwind and linear has been considered based on two extreme idealizations. In the first, the overwind is rigidly coupled with the liner, so that the two deform together in the meridional direction as the vessel dilates. In the second, the overwind is free to slide relative to the linear, but the overall elongations of the two around a meridian are identical. Optimized designs with the two idealizations show only minor differences, and it is concluded that either approximation is satisfactory for the purposes of vessel design. Aspects taken into account are the intrinsic overwind thickness variation arising from the winding process and the effects of fiber pre-tension. Pre-tension can be used not only to defer the onset of yielding, but also to achieve a favorable in-plane stress ratio which minimizes the von Mises equivalent stress in the metal liner. Aramid fibers are the most appropriate fibers to be used for the overwind in this type of application. The quantity of fiber required is determined by both its short-term strength and its long-term stress rupture characteristics. An optimization procedure for the design of such vessels, taking all these factors into account, has been established. The stress distributions in the vessels designed in this way have been examined and discussed through the examples. A design which gives due consideration of possible mechanical damage to the surface of the overwind has also been addressed.

AbstractWith modern-day technical advances, high sagittal oblique osteotomy (HSOO) of the mandible was recently described as an alternative to bilateral sagittal split osteotomy for the correction of mandibular skeletal deformities. However, neither in vitro nor numerical biomechanical assessments have evaluated the performance of fixation methods in HSOO. The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical characteristics and stress distribution in bone and osteosynthesis fixations when using different designs and placing configurations, in order to determine a favourable plating method. We established two finite element models of HSOO with advancement (T1) and set-back (T2) movements of the mandible. Six different configurations of fixation of the ramus, progressively loaded by a constant force, were assessed for each model. The von Mises stress distribution in fixations and in bone, and bony segment displacement, were analysed. The lowest mechanical stresses and minimal gradient of displacement between the proximal and distal bony segments were detected in the combined one-third anterior- and posterior-positioned double mini-plate T1 and T2 models. This suggests that the appropriate method to correct mandibular deformities in HSOO surgery is with use of double mini-plates positioned in the anterior one-third and posterior one-third between the bony segments of the ramus.

Zirconia is an extremely successful material for prosthetic restorations, offering attractive mechanical and optical properties. It offers several advantages for posterior restorations because it can withstand physiological posterior forces. The aim of the study was to achieve the influence of zirconia framework thickness on the mechanical behavior of all-ceramic crowns using numerical simulation. For the study a premolar was chosen in order to simulate the mechanical behavior in the components of all-ceramic crowns and teeth structures regarding to the zirconia framework thickness. Maximal Von Mises equivalent stress values were recorded in teeth and restorations. Due to the registered maximal stress values it can be concluded that it is indicated to achieve frameworks of at least 0.5 mm thickness in the premolar area. Regarding stress distribution concentration were observed in the veneer around the contact areas with the antagonists, in the framework under the functional cusp and in the oral part overall and in dentin around and under the marginal line, also oral. The biomechanical behavior of all ceramic crowns under static loads can be investigated by the finite element method.

This study compares the biomechanical behavior of a mandibular full-arch fixed implant prosthesis with four implants under lingualized and conventional balanced occlusion schemes. The acrylic resin denture was supported by four titanium cylindrical implants and connected via a titanium prosthetic rectangular bar. Orthotropic material was used for the cortical and cancellous bones. The applied loadings were vertical and bilateral: 100[Formula: see text]N on first molar and 50[Formula: see text]N on first and second premolars each. For the lingualized balanced occlusion, the loadings were applied in central fossae of the posterior teeth, whereas for the conventional balanced occlusion the loadings were applied in central fossae and buccal cusps. The maximum von-Mises stresses for the lingualized and conventional balanced schemes were 301[Formula: see text]MPa and 25[Formula: see text]MPa, respectively, and were located at the neck of the posterior implants. In the denture teeth, the highest stress was located at the beginning of the cantilever extension. In the cortical bone, according to Tsai–Wu criterion, the failure index for the lingualized balanced occlusion was 1.10 and for the conventional balanced occlusion was 0.83. Thus, the conventional balanced occlusion demonstrated more favorable stress distribution in the implants and the cortical bone than the lingualized balanced occlusion.

ABSTRACT Objectives: To evaluate the influence of placement angle and direction of orthopedic force application on the stability of miniscrews. Materials and Methods: Finite element analysis was performed using miniscrews inserted into supporting bone at angles of 90°, 60°, and 30° (P90°, P60°, and P30°). An orthopedic heavy force of 800 gf was applied to the heads of the miniscrews in four upward (U0°, U30°, U60°, U90°) or lateral (L0°, L30°, L60°, L90°) directions. In addition, pull-out strength of the miniscrews was measured with various force directions and cortical bone thicknesses. Results: Miniscrews with a placement angle of 30° (P30°) and 60° (P60°) showed a significant increase in maximum von Mises stress following the increase in lateral force vectors (U30°, U60°, U90°) compared to those with a placement angle of 90° (P90°). In accordance, the pull-out strength was higher with the axial upward force when compared to the upward force with lateral vectors. Maximum von Mises stress and displacement of the miniscrew increased as the angle of lateral force increased (L30°, L60°, L90°). However, a more dramatic increase in maximum von Mises stress was noted in P30° than in P60° and P90°. Conclusion: Placement of the miniscrew perpendicular to the cortical bone is advantageous in terms of biomechanical stability. Placement angles of less than 60° can reduce the stability of miniscrews when orthopedic forces are applied in various directions.
