This study aimed to explore the biomechanical behaviors of maxillary sinus elevation with bone grafts of various heights and widths using three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis. We constructed 27 3D finite element models according to bone graft dimensions for three maxillary sinuses. These models were classified as (i) tapered, (ii) ovoid, and (iii) square. Each maxillary sinus type was analyzed with bone graft heights of 3 mm, 6 mm, and 9 mm and mesiodistal bone graft widths of 8 mm, 10 mm, and 12 mm. Different sinus pressure of 100 Pa, 500 Pa, and 1,000 Pa was applied to each aspect of the maxillary sinus. The maximum von Mises (max-VM) stress for each bone graft model was highest in the square group. The bone graft’s max-VM stress was decreased while increasing bone graft height from 3 to 9 mm in the tapered and square groups. In the ovoid group, the max-VM stress of all bone graft models decreased when the bone graft height increased from 3 to 6 mm. Thus 6 mm is the most appropriate bone graft height for all types of maxillary sinus elevation.

Abstract The effects of variations in stiffness and geometry on the nonuniformity of tires are investigated by using the finite element analysis. In order to evaluate tire uniformity, a three-dimensional finite element model of the tire with imperfections is developed. This paper considers how imperfections, such as variations in stiffness or geometry and run-out, contribute to detrimental effects on tire nonuniformity. It is found that the radial force variation of a tire with imperfections depends strongly on the geometrical variations of the tire.

The effect of a restored machined hybrid dental ceramic crown–tooth complex is not well understood. This study was conducted to determine the effect of the stress state of the machined hybrid dental ceramic crown using three-dimensional finite element analysis. Human premolars were prepared to receive full coverage crowns and restored with machined hybrid dental ceramic crowns using the resin cement. Then, the teeth were digitized using micro-computed tomography and the teeth were scanned with an optical intraoral scanner using an intraoral scanner. Three-dimensional digital models were generated using an interactive image processing software for the restored tooth complex. The generated models were imported into a finite element analysis software with all degrees of freedom concentrated on the outer surface of the root of the crown–tooth complex. To simulate average occlusal load subjected on a premolar a total load of 300 N was applied, 150 N at a buccal incline of the palatal cusp, and palatal incline of the buccal cusp. The von Mises stresses were calculated for the crown–tooth complex under simulated load application was determined. Three-dimensional finite element analysis showed that the stress distribution was more in the dentine and least in the cement. For the cement layer, the stresses were more concentrated on the buccal cusp tip. In dentine, stress was more on the cusp tips and coronal 1/3 of the root surface. The conventional crown preparation is a suitable option for machined polymer crowns with less stress distribution within the crown–tooth complex and can be a good aesthetic replacement in the posterior region. Enamic crowns are a good viable option in the posterior region.
