A first molar with full crown preparation and three marginal configurations-chamfer, chisel, and shoulder with a bevel-was analyzed by the finite element method. The maximum, minimum, and shear stresses were plotted as a function of the radius along various horizontal planes. The chamfer geometry exhibited the most uniform stress distribution.

Stress distributions are Presented for a normal and a restored mandibular second premolar under masticatory-type forces. These were obtained using the finite element method of stress analysis aPPlied to two-dimensional models. The effect of the relative stiffness of the materials is examined in each instance.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the stresses on the intervertebral disc between vertebrae L4 and L5 when a compressive load is applied on vertebra L4 using the photoelasticity transmission technique and the finite element method. Nine photoelastic models were used and were divided into three groups. Each group was formed by three models, according to the localization of the sagittal cut on vertebrae L4-L5. Simulation was carried out using a load of 23 N. The fringe orders were assessed by points close to the edge of the intervertebral disc using the Tardy compensation method. The analyses using the photoelasticity technique and the model of the finite elements showed that the stress generated by the vertebrae on the intervertebral disc was higher in the posterolateral region. Thus, this region is more susceptible to pathologies such as hernia and disc degeneration.

This work consists of the study is to analysis by the finite element method the effect of the ageing of the adhesive exposed simultaneously to the temperature and water on the degradation of its mechanical properties and consequently on the transfer of loads from the plate to patch. The stress intensity factor was evaluated according to immersion time and temperature. Several parameters have been taken into consideration, namely the properties of the composite patch, temperature, water absorption, rate and length of crack, the distribution of maximum shear stresses in the adhesive and peel in the patch were also analyzed.
