In booted sleeper floating track systems wherein the concrete bed, rail, and sleeper are structurally separated, mismatches can occur between the substructure and track owing to deformations. Nevertheless, the mutual behavior between substructures and track systems has not been studied extensively. To address this limitation, the effect of substructure uplift and subsidence on the deformation of a boosted sleeper floating track system installed in a subway box tunnel was analyzed using finite element analysis. A detailed three-dimensional model consisting of all track system components was constructed to determine the interaction between the rail and concrete bed. The sleepers were observed to rotate in response to substructure deformation, and their resulting contact conditions on the concrete bed were analyzed to determine the track status accordingly. The zones of likely tension and shear cracking in the concrete bed were then determined to provide focus areas for track design and maintenance efforts. The results of this study can be used to improve the design and inspection of floating track systems to ensure the safety and functionality of railway tunnels in areas likely to experience uplift or subsidence.

Cold shearing machine is the machine equipment often used in metallurgical industry to shear head, tail and fixed length of rolled piece. The shearing movement of cold shearing machine can be realized by crankshaft driving link rod with relative up-and-down motion. Load on crankshaft is comparatively big. In this paper, cold shearing machine crankshaft was taken as an example. The three dimensional model of relative cold shearing machine crankshaft was constructed by SolidWorks software. Strength finite element analyses on relative model were made by static analysis module attached to SolidWorks software under maximum load working conditions. The overall displacement distribution pictures and overall Von Mises stress distribution pictures of cold shearing machine crankshaft under relative load working conditions were obtained. This research provides important reference base for the design and reform of cold shearing machine crankshaft.

The purpose of the work is improvement of the effectiveness of the mandibular fractures treatment in patients with partial or complete adentia by developing and experimentally testing transalveolar osteosynthesis technique. An experimental study was carried out by 3D computer simulation modeling by the final element analysis to assess the efficiency of mandibular fractures fixation at partial or complete adentia using the Ш-shaped plate, which we developed for the transalveolar osteosynthesis method. Calculations of the immobilized fractures for static (own weight) and dynamic (functional) loads were performed according to the author's method, taking into account pronounced resorptive processes in the bone from the beginning of the reparative reaction to assess the rigidity of fragments fixation during the entire period of the fractures healing. Under the conditions of the same three-dimensional model of the mandible, calculations were performed when the fracture was fixed with ordinary linear titanium osseous plates. It is proved that at functional load the new plate provides a compression effect in the fractures region, as evidenced by the negative displacements in the final elements of the mental region according to the results of design load combination 2- 3. The maximum efforts in the screws of the calculation model with a conventional bone plate were 136.955 N, which is almost ten times more than on the model with a Ш-shaped titanium retainer (12.656 N).

In this paper we describe the potentialities of a tool for the visualization of experimental results directly on a three-dimensional model. The case study concerns the visualization of the results of a dynamic finite element analysis (FEA/FEM) applied to the calculation of seismic risk on works belonging to the Italian infrastructural heritage, specifically bridges, viaducts and overpasses. The project is based on finite element analysis performed on an exemplary set of 8 structures located on the Italian territory, performed by means of the open-source software framework OpenSees, according to the guidelines indicated in the Technical Standards for Construction NTC08. The application created for this project is classifiable as a webGIS, since all data are georeferenced and visualized on a map through an application executed through a browser. The graphical interface displays the interested works on the map of the Italian territory and allows to select them by mouse click. Following the selection, a 3D rendering of the model of the work and the surrounding terrain is shown, in which the results of the analysis are represented using color gradients directly on the three-dimensional model. The necessary tools are present for the selection of the type of result and for the animation in real time of the response of the work to the seismic action. The 3D representation is freely navigable by the user thanks to intuitive tools of panning, rotation and zoom through mouse and keyboard. The application takes advantage of HTML5, CSS and Javascript to show graphical features such as Cartesian diagrams of accelerograms used in modal analysis.

Background: The goal of this study was to analyze the stress distribution on two types of extra-short dental implants with 5 mm of length: An internal hexagon (IH) and morse taper connection (MT). Methods: The three-dimensional model was composed of trabecular and cortical bone, a crown, an extra-short dental implant and their components. An axial load of 150 N was applied and another inclined 30° with the same magnitude. Results: Stress concentrations on the IH implant are observed in the region of the first threads for the screw. However, in the MT implant the highest stress occurs at the edges of the upper implant platform. Conclusions: In view of the results obtained in this study the two types of prosthetic fittings present a good stress distribution. The Morse taper connections presented better behavior than the internal in both loading configurations.
