Glenoid conformity is one of the important aspects that could contribute to implant stability. However, the optimal conformity is still being debated among the researchers. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the stress distribution of the implant and cement in three types of conformity (conform, non-conform, and hybrid) in three load conditions (central, anterior, and posterior). Glenoid implant and cement were reconstructed using Solidwork software and a 3D model of scapula bone was done using MIMICS software. Constant load, 750 N, was applied at the central, anterior, and posterior region of the glenoid implant which represents average load for daily living activities for elder people, including, walking with a stick and standing up from a chair. The results showed that, during center load, an implant with dual conformity (hybrid) showed the best (Max Stress—3.93 MPa) and well-distributed stress as compared to other conformity (Non-conform—7.21 MPa, Conform—9.38 MPa). While, during eccentric load (anterior and posterior), high stress was located at the anterior and posterior region with respect to the load applied. Cement stress for non-conform and hybrid implant recorded less than 5 MPa, which indicates it had a very low risk to have cement microcracks, whilst, conform implant was exposed to microcrack of the cement. In conclusion, hybrid conformity showed a promising result that could compromise between conform and non-conform implant. However, further enhancement is required for hybrid implants when dealing with eccentric load (anterior and posterior).

Recuperator in a microturbine system, which has to work under a high temperature and high pressure condition, is a key component to improve the electricity efficiency of the system. High temperature and pressure may cause high stress inside the Cross-Wavy Primary Surface (CWPS) sheet, and it is essential to analyze the stress distribution to ensure the security while the recuperator is working. In this paper the combined thermomechanical design of a CWPS recuperator for a 100kW microturbine system is presented. With the ANSYS Parametric Design Language (APDL), calculation procedures for heat transfer and stress analysis are combined in order to perform a reliable strength prediction of the recuperator. A program has been generated, which allows the automatic generation of the numerical model, the mesh and the boundary conditions. Also with the energy minimum principle, an optimal configuration of the air and gas passages is obtained. The results show that the material of the primary sheet (0Cr18Ni11Nb) is reliable. The stress distribution changes with the different configuration of the passages. Since the air pressure is much higher than that of the exhaust gas, the configuration of the primary sheet is much better when the sectional area of the gas passage is larger than that of the air passage. If the pitch of the sheet is maintained at 2mm, the best configuration is obtained when the dimension of passage is at r = 0.35–0.42mm, R = 0.55–0.48mm.

Releasing Effect

This paper presents an elastic analytical solution to a circular tunnel with releasing slots at high stress areas near the hole by using a conformal mapping method and the complex variable theory. Compared to the original stress distribution around the circular hole, the releasing effect on elastic stresses is evaluated. After grooving slots, low stress area is generated where the high stress concentration is located. This is agreeable with what was predicted by the finite difference FLAC2D. Besides, displacements are obtained along the periphery of the released hole and are in accordance with those of FLAC2D. In addition to the intersection of the mapping contour, the influences of the sampling points distribution, series number in mapping function, and slot shape are discussed. It is inevitable that the mapping accuracies for the slot and the circle cannot be satisfied at the same time The mapping effect on the circle has to be considered primarily since the stress distribution around the circle is much more significant than the tunnel stability. The analytical solution can be available and fast method of estimating the releasing effect of the application on the tunnel without rock parameters.

Breakage of thin solar silicon wafers during handling and transport depends on the stresses imposed on the wafer by the handling/transport device. In this paper, the stresses generated in solar silicon wafers by a rigid vacuum gripper are analyzed via a combination of experiments and numerical modeling. Specifically, stresses produced in monocrystalline (Cz) and multicrystalline (Cast) silicon wafers of different thicknesses when handled by a vacuum gripper are analyzed using the finite element (FE) method. With the measured surface profiles of the wafer and the gripper as input, the handling process is simulated using FE modeling and the stress distribution obtained. The FE modeling results are validated by experimental data of wafer surface profile during handling. The results show that while the vacuum level does not have significant impact on the stress distribution, the initial surface profiles of the thin wafer and gripper play a dominant role in producing regions of high stress in the wafer.

Static Compression

Object The authors evaluated the biomechanical effect of 3 different degrees of static compression in a model of the spinal cord in order to investigate the effect of cord compression in patients with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). Methods A 3D finite element spinal cord model consisting of gray matter, white matter, and pia mater was established. As a simulation of OPLL-induced compression, a rigid plate compressed the anterior surface of the cord. The degrees of compression were 10, 20, and 40% of the anteroposterior (AP) diameter of the cord. The cord was supported from behind by the rigid body along its the posterior border, simulating the lamina. Stress distributions inside of the cord were evaluated. Results The stresses on the cord were very low under 10% compression. At 20% compression, the stresses on the cord increased very slightly. At 40% compression, the stresses on the cord became much higher than with 20% compression, and high stress distributions were observed in gray matter and the lateral and posterior funiculus. The stresses on the compressed layers were much higher than those on the uncompressed layer. Conclusions The stress distributions at 10 and 20% compression of the AP diameter of the spinal cord were very low. The stress distribution at 40% compression was much higher. The authors conclude that a critical point may exist between 20 and 40% compression of the AP diameter of the cord such that when the degree of the compression exceeds this point, the stress distribution becomes much higher, and that this may contribute to myelopathy.

This paper deals with problems in the coining process for manufacturing surgical slit knife using two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) simulations. The FE simulations are performed to investigate the material flow, and especially stress distribution on the coining dies. The main objective of this paper is to study the feasibility of a coining process for manufacturing a given geometry of surgical slit knife without forming defects and die failure. Very high stress distribution on the coining dies is found by 2D simulations of the coining process that exceeds the strength limit of the die material. The optimum preform and preforming die geometry are determined by FE simulations in order to reduce the die stress. 3D simulations of the preforming and coining processes are conducted with the optimal design to show that the geometry of the product can be achieved without defects by the coining process.

To address the large deformation of the surrounding rock of deep gob-side entry retaining under high stress, lithological characteristics of the surrounding rock and failure model of support body and their evolutionary processes are analyzed through field investigation and theoretical analysis. Failure mechanisms of surrounding rock and the technology to control it are studied systematically. The results show that the causes of the large deformation of the surrounding rock are weak thick mudstones with softening property and water absorption behavior, as well as its fragmentation, dilatancy, and long-term creep during strong disturbance and highly centralized stress states. The cross-section shape of the roadway after deformation and failure of the surrounding rock is obviously asymmetric in both the horizontal and vertical directions. Since the original system supporting the surrounding rock is unable to completely bear the load, each part of the supporting system is destroyed one after the other. The failure sequences of the surrounding rock are as follows: (1) roadway roof fracture in the filling area, (2) filling body fracture under eccentric load, (3) rapid subsidence of the roadway roof, and (4) external crack drum and rib spalling at the solid coal side. Due to this failure sequence, the entire surrounding rock becomes unstable. A partitioned coupling support and a quaternity control technology to support the surrounding rock are proposed, in which the roof of the filling area plays a key role. The technology can improve the overall stability of gob-side entry retaining, prevent support structure instability caused by local failure of the surrounding rock, and ensure the safety and smoothness of roadways.
