Abstract Background and Objective: The incidence of periprosthetic fracture increases with the increase of total hip arthroplasty. The treatment of periprosthetic fracture is always a difficult point. The bridged combined internal fixation system (Ortho-bridge System, OBS) is well adapted to the characteristics of periprosthetic fractures.In this study, finite element analysis was used to evaluate the optimal configuration of OBS for fixation of Vancouver B1 periprosthetic femoral fractures.Methods: A three-rod combination OBS fixation model was established to evaluate the optimal position of the third rod, the cross Angle of proximal screws, the diameter of the connecting rod, and the number of screws. Femoral displacement and the maximum Von Mises (equivalent) stress of OBS were used as evaluation indexes.Results: The third rod is located at 35mm below the lateral fovea of the femur and the minimum Von Mises peak stress of OBS, which is the best location for placing the third rod. It is feasible for proximal screw intersection Angle to be about 71° and 84°.To fix the strength, the 6mm connecting rod is better. Considering the number of screws scheme comprehensively, scheme D is the best number of screws scheme.Conclusion: The personalized and diversified fixation mode of OBS is well adapted to the characteristics of periprosthetic fracture and provides an effective means for the treatment of periprosthetic femoral fracture.

Abstract Background: Spinal injury in children usually occurs in the cervical spine region. Anterior fixation of lower cervical spine has been applied in the treatment of pediatric cervical spine injury and disease due to its stable and firm mechanical properties. This study performed finite element analysis and comparison of 4 different anterior cervical internal fixation systems for children, and explored more stable methods of anterior cervical internal fixation in children. Methods: A finite element model of 6-year-old children with lower cervical spine C4/5 discectomy was established, and the self-designed lower cervical spine anterior locking internal fixation system ACBLP and the children’s anterior cervical internal fixation system ACOP, ACVLP, ACSLP plate screws were fixed and loaded on the model. 27.42N•m torque load was applied to each internal fixation model under 6 working conditions of anteflexion, backward flexion, left flexion, right flexion, left rotation and right rotation, to simulate the movement of the cervical spine. The activity and stress distribution cloud diagram of each finite element model was obtained. Results: In the four internal fixation models of ACOP, ACVLP, ACSLP, and ACBLP, the mobility of C4/5 segment basically showed a decreasing relationship, and the mobility of adjacent segments increased significantly. In the Mises stress cloud diagram of the cervical spine of the four models, the vertebral body and accessories of the ACBLP model born the least stress, followed by ACSLP; The steel plate and screws in the ACVLP internal fixation model were the most stressed; The stress of the internal fixation system (plate/screw) in all models increased in the order of ACBLP, ACSLP, ACVLP, and ACOP.Conclusions: ACBLP internal fixation system had obvious advantages in anterior internal fixation of lower cervical spine in children, C4/5 had the smallest degree of movement, relative displacement was minimal, the stress on the pedicle was the least while the stress on the plate screw was relatively the smallest.

The primary link of an IC engine is a connecting rod. Its position is in-between the crankshaft and the piston whose key function is to convert the piston motion which is reciprocating in nature into rotary motion of the crank by transmitting the piston thrust to the crankshaft. This has entailed performing a detailed load analysis. In this paper, connecting rod's finite element analysis was done using Finite Element techniques. So firstly by using the schematic diagram the solid model of the connecting rod was created using Solid works software. Then using the Ansys R17.1 software the meshing was done and then the Finite element analysis is done to find the Equivalent (Von-Mises) stresses and the Factor of Safety under the loading conditions. Structural Steel is the material which is used for connecting rod and the loading conditions are assumed to be static. In Equivalent (Von-Mises) stress test maximum stress is found to be 1.504x108 Pa and the minimum factor of safety is 1.20765 for the connecting rod

Abstract Objective: Providing the biomechanical evidences to the surgeons on the internal fixation strategy and Cage implantation method in minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) by the finite element analysis (FEA).Methods: Firstly, based on the common MIS-TLIF surgical methods, three surgical models with different internal fixation strategies and Cage implantation methods were established. The surgical models simulated the physiological activities of the lumbar spine to evaluate the range of motion (ROM) of lumbar spine, the peak stress and the overall stress of the internal fixation system and Cage.Results: The results of the study show that the ROM of the surgical model has decreased significantly under all working conditions, and the decrease range is between 71.07-97.53%. The peak stress of the internal fixation system range was 48.56 to 100.09 MPa in Model-A, 58.10 to 136.05 MPa in Model-B, and 83.26 to 189.81 MPa in Model-C. Especially in the three working conditions of left lateral bending (LLB), left rotation (LR), and right rotation (RR), the peak stress of the internal fixation system of Model-C is 1.80 , 2.07, 1.79 times of Model-A and 2.05 , 1.64, 2.28 times of Model-B. The peak stress of Model-C Cage is significantly lower than Model-A and Model-B under all working conditions.Conclusion: Although the strategy of unilateral pedicle screw + lamina articular process screw + Cage horizontal implantation has the least Cage stress, there is a higher risk of internal fixation fail. Comprehensive evaluation, the surgical strategy of bilateral pedicle screw + Cage horizontal implantation has the best performance, and has the potential to become the standard implantation strategy of MIS-TLIF.

The aim of the present investigation was to calculate the stress distribution generated in the root dentine canal during mechanical rotation of five different NiTi endodontic instruments by means of a finite element analysis (FEA). Two conventional alloy NiTi instruments F360 25/04 and F6 Skytaper 25/06, in comparison to three heat treated alloys NiTI Hyflex CM 25/04, Protaper Next 25/06 and One Curve 25/06 were considered and analyzed. The instruments’ flexibility (reaction force) and geometrical features (cross section, conicity) were previously investigated. For each instrument, dentine root canals with two different elastic moduli(18 and 42 GPa) were simulated with defined apical ratios. Ten different CAD instrument models were created and their mechanical behaviors were analyzed by a 3D-FEA. Static structural analyses were performed with a non-failure condition, since a linear elastic behavior was assumed for all components. All the instruments generated a stress area concentration in correspondence to the root canal curvature at approx. 7 mm from the apex. The maximum values were found when instruments were analyzed in the highest elastic modulus dentine canal. Strain and von Mises stress patterns showed a higher concentration in the first part of curved radius of all the instruments. Conventional Ni-Ti endodontic instruments demonstrated higher stress magnitudes, regardless of the conicity of 4% and 6%, and they showed the highest von Mises stress values in sound, as well as in mineralized dentine canals. Heat-treated endodontic instruments with higher flexibility values showed a reduced stress concentration map. Hyflex CM 25/04 displayed the lowest von Mises stress values of, respectively, 35.73 and 44.30 GPa for sound and mineralized dentine. The mechanical behavior of all rotary endodontic instruments was influenced by the different elastic moduli and by the dentine canal rigidity.

Abstract Background Internal fixation is recommended for treating Vancouver B1 periprosthetic femoral fractures. Although several fixation procedures have been developed with high fixation stability and union rates, long-term weight-bearing constructs are still lacking. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the stability of a double-plate procedure using reversed contralateral locking compression-distal femoral plates for fixation of Vancouver B1 periprosthetic femoral fractures under full weight-bearing. Methods Single- and double-plate fixation procedures for locking compression-distal femoral plates were analysed under an axial load of 1,500 N by finite element analysis and biomechanical loading tests. A vertical loading test was performed to the prosthetic head, and the displacements and strains were calculated based on load-displacement and load-strain curves generated by the static compression tests. Results The finite element analysis revealed that double-plate fixation significantly reduced stress concentration at the lateral plate place on the fracture site. Under full weight-bearing, the maximum von Mises stress in the lateral plate was 268 MPa. On the other hand, the maximum stress in the single-plating method occurred at the defect level of the femur with a maximum stress value of 1,303 MPa. The principal strains of single- and double-plate fixation were 0.63 % and 0.058 %, respectively. Consistently, in the axial loading test, the strain values at a 1,500 N loading of the single- and double-plate fixation methods were 1,274.60 ± 11.53 and 317.33 ± 8.03 (× 10− 6), respectively. Conclusions The present study suggests that dual-plate fixation with reversed locking compression-distal femoral plates may be an excellent treatment procedure for patients with Vancouver B1 fractures, allowing for full weight-bearing in the early postoperative period.

Calibration curves of a multi-component dynamometer is of essence in machining operations in a lathe machine as they serve to provide values of force and stress components for cutting tool development and optimization. In this study, finite element analysis has been used to obtain the deflection and stress response of a two component cutting tool lathe dynamometer, for turning operation, when the cutting tool is subjected to cutting and thrust forces from 98.1N to 686.7N (10 to 70kg-wts), at intervals of 98.1N(10kg-wt). By obtaining the governing equation, modeling the dynamometer assembly, defining boundary conditions, generating the assembly mesh, and simulating in Inventor Professional; horizontal and vertical components of deflection by the dynamometer were read off for three different loading scenarios. For these three loading scenarios, calibration plots by experiment compared with plots obtained from simulation by finite element analysis gave accuracies of 79%, 95%, 84% and 36%, 57%, 63% for vertical and horizontal deflections respectively. Also, plots of horizontal and vertical components of Von Mises stress against applied forces were obtained.
