Background: Success of an implant-supported prosthesis is highly dependent on implant diameter and bone quality. The objective of this study is to assess these two variables under axial or 30° angulated loading. Methods: The study was conducted using finite element model simulations of dental implants with an unchanging length of 6.5 mm and varying diameters of Ø3.3; Ø3.5; Ø3.75; Ø4, Ø4.25 and Ø4.75 mm. The implants were placed in an axial position and a 2 mm high straight transepithelial (intermediate abutment) was used to perform a single tooth restoration. Four bone quality scenarios, Type IV, III, II or 0-I bone, were simulated from a simplified model of the mandible. A 200N load was applied both axially and at a 30° angle to the occlusal surface of the prosthesis, which was 11 mm above the implant platform, and the equivalent Von Mises stress in the bone was analyzed. Results: The maximum stress value was obtained for the Ø3.3 implant in Type IV bone (235 MPa), while the lowest value was obtained for the Ø4.75 implant and in Type 0-I bone (41 MPa). Regardless of the implant diameter, an improvement in bone quality produced a reduction in bone stress. The same effect was observed as the implant diameter was increased, being this effect even more pronounced. Conclusions: Implant diameter has an important effect on bone stress, with a reduction in stress as the implant diameter increases.

Suspension linkages are one of the fundamental structural elements in each vehicle since they connect the wheel carriers i.e. axles to the body of the vehicle. Moreover, the characteristics of suspension linkages within a suspension system can directly affect driving safety, comfort and economics. Beyond these, all these design criteria are bounded to the package space of the vehicle. In last decades, suspension linkages have been focused on in terms of design development and cost reduction. In this study, a control arm of a diesel public bus was taken into account in order to get the most cost-effective design while improving the strength within specified boundary conditions. Due to the change of the supplier, the control arm of a rigid axle was redesigned to find an economical and more durable solution. The new design was analyzed first by the finite element analysis software Ansys and the finite element model of the control arm was validated by physical tensile tests. The outputs of the study demonstrate that the new design geometry reduces the maximum Von Mises stress 15% while being within the elastic region of the material in use and having found an economical solution in terms of supplier’s criteria.

In this paper, ANSYS-LSDYNA simulation software is used to build the three-dimensional finite element model of the ball bond and to get the Von Mises stress. The change of stress about the bump is researched which base on the model in different bonding pressure, bonding power and bonding time. The result show that: The stress increase with bonding pressure increase within a certain bonding pressure range, and then the stress will maintain a table number, however, the stress will continue to increase when the bonding pressure reach a certain value; increasing the bonding power, the area of lager stress will grow; prolonging the bonding time, the stress of the pad will increase with time, but when time increase to a certain value, the stress of the pad will not increase over time.

AbstractFinite Element Modeling was used to compare the efficacy of common screw-plate configurations used for fixation of parasymphyseal fractures of the mandible. Measures of Von Mises stress on the screw bone interface, as well as principal strain in the reduced fracture region, were used in this comparison. This study also explored differences between orthotropic and isotropic modeling practices and compared the effect of mastication forces on both the fractured and intact halves of the mandible. The results of this analysis showed no major differences between configurations from a mechanistic point of view. This suggests that the use of any of the studied screw-plate configurations will not increase chances for post-operative complications. Furthermore, little difference is seen between analyses with either orthotropic or isotropic material properties. The inclusion of orthotropic properties can thus be avoided in future studies with similar boundary and plating conditions. Mastication ipsilateral to the fracture increases Von Mises stress 2 to 4 times, and should be avoided during early healing periods. These recommendations only apply to patients whose fractures mimic the finite-element model.

The biomechanical health degree of peri-implant bone plays a critical role during the service of implants. This paper presents a preliminary exploration of the quantitative evaluation of the biomechanical health degree for the bone tissues around dental implant through finite element method. The finite element model of a part of mandible with three molars is constructed based on computer tomography scan image as a control sample, which is supposed to represent a healthy state. The model of treated mandible is made by replacing the middle tooth in the healthy model with a commercial implant. A regional average strain energy density (RASED) is proposed as a more accurate index to describe the stress state of peri-implant bone tissues, compared with the widely used maximum equivalent von Mises stress. The simulation shows that the stress state in peri-implant bone, i.e., the distribution and level of stress, is highly dependent on the modulus of implant material. Among the implants made of materials with various moduli, including Ti, stainless steel, zirconia, porous Ti, dentin material and polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK), the ones with medium modulus (15–40[Formula: see text]GPa) are found to achieve relatively healthy stress states. This study provides an effective tool to assess the risk of overloading or stress shielding in peri-implant bone tissues. It demonstrates a great potential in the optimization of design, production and usage of implants.

Based on finite element analysis software ANSYS, the 3D contact finite element model of carbide anvil, steel ring and cushion block were built to make heat transfer analysis, and the temperature field distribution was obtained. The indirect coupling thermal analysis of carbide anvil, steel ring and cushion block were made regarding as a whole, the Von Mises stress nephogram of them and the shear stress nephogram of carbide anvil were displayed. The stress nephogram revealed that it was liable to fracture on the edge of top surface under high pressure status, and it was also proven that the main reason of fracture was the yield of internal material defects under the action of shear stress.

Using ANSYS parametric design language, a three-dimensional finite element model is developed to analyze the stress distribution and the strength of the mega columns for XRL West Kowloon Terminus. The detailed von Mises stress distribution in each column, vertical stiffener plates and the diaphragm plates is obtained. From the analysis, the phenomenon of stress concentration is obvious in both upper and lower diaphragm plates. The local value of von Mises stress in them is higher than the yield stress value, which must be avoided by more detailed local structural design.

Introduction: The finite element method has been extensively used to analyze the mechanical behavior of endodontic rotary files under bending and torsional conditions. This methodology requires elevated computer-aided design skills to reproduce the geometry of the endodontic file, and also mathematical knowledge to perform the finite element analysis. In this study, an automated procedure is proposed for the computerized generation and finite element analysis of endodontic rotary files under bending and torsional conditions. Methods: An endodontic rotary file with a 25mm total length, 0.25mm at the tip, 1.20mm at 16mm from the tip, 2mm pitch and squared cross section was generated using the proposed procedure and submitted for analysis under bending and torsional conditions by clamping the last 3mm of the endodontic rotary file and applying a transverse load of 0.1N and a torsional moment of 0.3N·cm. Results: The results of the finite element analyses showed a maximum von Mises stress of 398MPa resulting from the bending analysis and a maximum von Mises stress of 843MPa resulting from the torsional analysis, both of which are next to the encastre point. Conclusions: The automated procedure allows an accurate description of the geometry of the endodontic file to be obtained based on its design parameters as well as a finite element model of the endodontic file from the previously generated geometry.

Introduction: Mini-implant has been in use as temporary anchorage device in orthodontics. Various factors like length, type of osseointegration, magnitude and direction of force, insertion angle of the mini-implant affect the stress development at the bone and implant interface. Development of undesirable stress at the bone-implant interface can lead to bone defect and failure of the implant. Various opinions regarding the need of osseointegration have been reported.Objective: To study the effect of complete and partial osseointegration on Von Mises stress distribution at the bone-implant interface.Materials & Method: Finite element model of 9mm × 1.5mm mini-implant and bone segment of 1.5mm were constructed to simulate the biomechanical response of the bone to the mini- implant by using CATIA V5-6R 2013 software. Stress developed on implant and bone were analyzed by using ANSYS: 13 2013 version software for both complete and partial level of osseointegration.Result: Maximum Von Mises stress in complete osseointegration was 14.49 Mpa in cortical bone, 0.551 Mpa in cancellous bone and 50.76 Mpa in implant. In partial osseointegration, it was 18.68 Mpa in cortical bone, 1.23 Mpa in cancellous bone and 66.80 Mpa in mini-implant.Conclusion: In partial osseointegration, stress developed was higher but well below the yield strength of respected continuum. So the partial osseointegration is a good compromise between the necessity of reducing mobility of implant and the necessity for easier screw removal.

This paper presents an investigation into the sharpness of a surgical scalpel blade. An experiment was carried out in which a surgical scalpel blade was pushed through an elastomeric substrate at a constant velocity. The force-displacement characteristics were examined by plotting the stiffness as a function of blade displacement and it was found that this curve could clearly identify the point where the material separates to form a cut. A blade sharpness measurement was defined as the energy required to initiate an opening or cut in the substrate. A finite element model was developed to examine the stress state in the substrate at the point where the opening initiates. The development of this model is described. The model was validated against the experiment and close agreement was obtained. The von-Mises stress distribution under the blade tip was plotted and it was shown that the peak stress actually occurs away from the blade tip, suggesting that material separation would initiate away from the substrate surface.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine stress levels on supporting structures of implant-retained overdentures as a function of varying degrees of palatal coverage using finite element analysis modeling at different loading angles. Materials and Methods: ABAQUS®-software was used to perform finite element analysis on eight overdenture models with three and four implants and with and without palatal coverage designs. Loads were applied perpendicular and 45º to the implants. Von Mises stress was measured to determine bone stress. A one-way ANOVA determined which model caused the most stress to the maxillary bone. Results: Palatal coverage increased stress to anterior implant in three implant (p = 0.08) models but decreased stress to all implants in four implant models (p = 0.43). Distal implants received more stress than anterior implants for all models. There was no significant difference between a full palate and no palate coverage overdenture prosthesis when a bar was added under axial loading (p = 0.954). Under non-axial loading, a decrease in stress was noted with the bar in all areas except the anterior implant site. Conclusions: Palatal coverage may not be necessary when applying a pure axial load. The addition of a bar decreased stress at loading.
