The objective of the present study is to evaluate how the elastic properties of the fabrication material of dental implants influence peri-implant bone load transfer in terms of the magnitude and distribution of stress and deformation. A three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis was performed; the model used was a section of mandibular bone with a single implant containing a cemented ceramic-metal crown on a titanium abutment. The following three alloys were compared: rigid (Y-TZP), conventional (Ti-6Al-4V), and hyperelastic (Ti-Nb-Zr). A 150-N static load was tested on the central fossa at 6° relative to the axial axis of the implant. The results showed no differences in the distribution of stress and deformation of the bone for any of the three types of alloys studied, mainly being concentrated at the peri-implant cortical layer. However, there were differences found in the magnitude of the stress transferred to the supporting bone, with the most rigid alloy (Y-TZP) transferring the least stress and deformation to cortical bone. We conclude that there is an effect of the fabrication material of dental implants on the magnitude of the stress and deformation transferred to peri-implant bone.

The treatment modality for completely edentulous arches has shifted from complete dentures to dental implants during the last 15-20 years. Tilting of implants has reduced the concern of resorbed posterior ridges in completely edentulous patients with “All-on-four” and “All-on-six” concept of dental implants. The purpose of this study is to compare the biomechanical behaviour of the “All-on-four”, “All-on-six” models with tilted distal implants at different angulations of 30 and 45 ° with four parallel placed implant-supported fixed prosthesis, and six parallel placed implant-supported fixed prosthesis models as controls using three-dimensional finite element analysis. The results showed that in all the models, in cancellous bone, cortical bone, implant and prosthesis – “All-on-four” model with distal implants tilted at an angulation of 30° showed stress values less than or equivalent to all the other models except on the implant in the presence of cantilever and on prosthesis during full mouth biting load where maximum stresses were observed. The study shows that All-on-four concept with tilted distal implants at an angulation of 30° showed stress values favourable for the rehabilitation of completely edentulous maxilla, but the presence of cantilever remains an area of concern.

In this paper, iron ladle stress and deformation has been accurately calculated using finite element analysis software ANSYS based on 260t iron ladle in standing, lifting, tipping working conditions. Distribution of stress field was obtained. The stiffness and strength of the iron ladle has been evaluated. The results show that the iron ladle in the standing, lifting and tipping working conditions, structural deformation is small, the strength and stiffness meet the requirements. This research extends the working life of 260t iron ladle. It provides theoretical basis for producing and using of the iron ladle and further optimal designing.

Acetabular stress shielding may be a failure mechanism of acetabular constructs promoting osteolysis, aseptic loosening and failure. We used three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA) to evaluate the effect of flexible sockets on acetabular stress shielding. The sockets were made of (1) full polyethylene (PE), (2) PE with a metal bearing and (3) a PE insert with a metal backing was used as a traditional stiff implant. We compared the strain energy density and interfacial micro-motions between bone and cementless sockets during walking. In our FEA model, the most elastic socket (case 1) showed the highest levels of micro-motion during walking (400 μm). The most rigid socket (case 3) showed smaller areas of high micro-motions. Assuming a threshold for ingrowth of 50 microns, the flexible cup showed an ingrowth area of almost 40%, whereas the other two cases showed stable areas covering 60% of the total bone–component interface. Furthermore, we found that the introduction of an implant generates a very different strain pattern directly around the implant as compared with the intact case, which has a horse-shoe shaped cartilage layer in the acetabulum. This difference was not affected much by the stiffness of the implant; a more flexible implant resulted in only slightly higher strain levels. Bone strains over 1.5 mm from the cup showed physiological values and were not affected by the stiffness of the implant. Hence, this study shows that the physiological strain patterns are not obtained in the direct periprosthetic bone, regardless of the stiffness of the material.

Abstract. For analyzing the frame whether meets actual driving needs, LCK6105PHENV-type hybrid (electric and gas) city bus frame as research object, using Solidworks12 and ANSYS-Workbench14 on frame, respectively, for the three-dimensional modeling and finite element analysis. Static analysis obtains frame’s stress and deformation results under the condition of bending and reversing (wheels dangling), modal analysis gets frame’s front 6 order vibration type, inherent frequency and the maximum deformation. Analyzing results shows that the frame basically can meet the design requirements, and in line with the actual needs of living and production. This research will provide references for optimization and improvement of new-energy Auto frame.
