This study carried out modeling of the contact between a pair of antagonist teeth with/without individual mouthguards with different geometric configurations. Comparisons of the stress–strain state of teeth interacting through a multilayer mouthguard EVA and multilayer mouthguards with an A-silicon interlayer were performed. The influence of the intermediate layer geometry of A-silicone in a multilayer mouthguard with an A-silicon interlayer on the stress–strain state of the human dentition was considered. The teeth geometry was obtained by computed tomography data and patient dental impressions. The contact 2D problem had a constant thickness, frictional contact deformation, and large deformations in the mouthguard. The strain–stress analysis of the biomechanical model was performed by elastoplastic stress–strain theory. Four geometric configurations of the mouthguard were considered within a wide range of functional loads varied from 50 to 300 N. The stress–strain distributions in a teeth pair during contact interaction at different levels of the physiological loads were obtained. The dependences of the maximum level of stress intensity and the plastic deformation intensity were established, and the contact parameters near the occlusion zone were considered. It was found that when using a multilayer mouthguard with an A-silicone interlayer, there is a significant decrease in the stress intensity level in the hard tissues of the teeth, more than eight and four times for the teeth of the upper and lower teeth, respectively.

The methodology of laboratory modeling of the loading of utor welded joint of the tank is presented. The methodology is based on testing of the special design sample. It allows under uniaxial tension on the typical servo-hydraulic machines to reproduce in the zone of a utor welded joint the combined action of bending and shear forces, similar to that which occurs during the operation of a vertical cylindrical tank. To assess the distribution of the stress-strain state in the proposed design of the sample under its loading, the finite element modeling was performed in the ANSYS software package. It showed the fundamental correspondence of the stress distribution in the zone of the utor node in the sample and in the real tank. The experimental studies consisted in carrying out tests for the durability of a series of 16 samples loaded with the maximum force in the cycle, causing the calculated stresses in the zone of the welded utor node in the range of 100–200 % from the maximum permissible ones. The obtained results showed that the maximum loaded zone, where the destruction of the samples occurred, is the near-seam zone of the utor welded joint on the inside of the tank. This corresponds to the statistics of the real tank failures. It is established that the developed methodology ensures the possibility of carrying out correct resource tests of the tank utor welded joints. It is also possible to vary the stress-strain state scheme within a wide range in the area of the utor welded joint by changing the design parameters of the test sample. In compliance with the regulated welding technologies and the absence of unacceptable defects in the welded joint, the utor node has a high resource, which significantly exceeding 50 years of the tank operation.

Attractive Option

With increasing attention being devoted to the problem of reducing service costs for a wide range of turbines and compressors, an attractive option is repair of damaged blades, instead of replacing them by new ones. A lot of different methods are used to repair blades and other parts of turbines and compressors. The processes of laser metal deposition (LMD) and direct laser forming (DLF) are modern methods used to repair blades made of titanium alloys. In the present study, the finite element analysis (FEM) has been applied to determine the stress-strain state of the repaired blades in service conditions. Different forms and sizes of the damaged zones have been analyzed. Several kinds of alloys, such as Incoloy 903, Carlson C800 and Inconel 718, appropriate for the LMD and DLF methods, have been utilized in repairing the blades. Two kinds of blades, with and without cooling hollows, have been examined. Lifetime of the repaired turbine has been evaluated by comparing the results obtained from the modal and stress-strain state analyses of the repaired and original parts. The results allow evaluating influence of sizes and forms of the damaged zones, as well as choice of the alloys applied, on lifetime of the repaired blades.

  In many constructions, their elements are in contact with nominally matching (congruent) surfaces. In reality, this contact is disturbed due to deviations in the shape of these surfaces from the nominal. To study the effect of this perturbation on the distribution of contact pressure, the analysis of the stress-strain state of the body system of punched sheet-die is carried out. The middle element of this system deviates from the nominally flat shape. This causes a change in the contact pressure distribution. The proportionality between the clamping force and the level of contact pressure is also lost. The reliability and accuracy of the results obtained by numerical calculation have been experimentally confirmed.

The development of methods for the calculating reinforced concrete structures covers a wide range of issues, including the expansion of the application of new innovative materials such as concrete and reinforcement. For usage in the practice of modern construction of multilayer structures made of concrete with different physic-mechanical characteristics, it is compulsory to conduct numerical studies of the stress-strain state of these structures under different types of loading. This article presents an analysis of the influence of the relations between the initial elastic modulus of the outer and middle layers for the stress-strain state and the deflection of three-layer reinforced concrete structures using the finite element method in the program ANSYS Mechanical. Numerical modeling allows comparing the obtained results and building theoretical dependences in a wide range of specified parameters for the construction of sections of multilayer reinforced concrete elements. The obtained scientific results enable to determine rational parameters for modeling various structural solutions of multilayer reinforced concrete structures. This would limit the number of actual test samples, increasing the efficiency of the experiment.

Torsion shafts are the main elastic element of the suspension systems of a large number of vehicles. To simulate their reaction to the action of torque, the stress-strain state is analyzed taking into account the contact interaction with the spline sleeve. The features of the distribution of contact pressure between these bodies are established. The nature of stress concentration in the splined hollows of the shaft head is determined. Models and research methods have been developed that make it possible to develop recommendations for design decisions in the design of vehicle suspension systems. The factors are determined that ensure the strength of the torsion shaft at the values of its head diameters close to the diameters of the torsion shaft stem. In the case under consideration, this factor is firstly strength of the torsion shaft head. In particular, it was found that during manufacturing operations there are significant plastic deformations and contact loads in the heads of torsion shafts. This factor is decisive in substantiating the design parameters of torsion shafts.

Stress Strain State

In recent years, the economic factor has played an increasingly important role in the selection of technologies for manufacturing machine parts with specified values of normalized parameters of geometric accuracy and quality of working surfaces. As applied to surface plastic deformation processes, this is noticeably manifested in the search for effective friction control methods in the “tool – workpiece” pair, which ultimately determines the distribution pattern and the magnitude of stresses and strains in the workpiece and the tool. It is not possible to obtain a rigorous analytical solution to the problem of establishing a connection between surface conditions, friction, and the stress-strain state of the contacted bodies. In this regard, the construction of mathematical models comes to the fore, the solution of which is possible by numerical methods. The paper presents the results of a numerical study (computational experiment) of a finite-element model of workpiece deformation under various conditions of contact interaction and friction by one of the methods of surface plastic deformation – surface mandrel drilling. The friction coefficient has been chosen as the criterion for assessing the conditions of contact interaction and friction. It is shown that a change in the friction coefficient in the process of surface mandrel has no noticeable effect on the formation of a stress field in the deformable workpiece both in the axial, and in the radial and circumferential directions. At the same time, with an increase in the value of the friction coefficient in the “tool – workpiece” pair and with the associated increase in the force of mechanical resistance to deformation of the workpiece, their growth is observed. A computational experiment has confirmed the presence of non-contact deformations of the workpiece and tool during surface mandrel drilling, as well as  as a decrease in the value of residual deformations in the workpiece with a decrease in the coefficient of friction. Balance assessment of contact surface displacements in the workpiece (the inner surface of the hole to be machined) and the tool (mandrel) has shown that the deformations of the tool in the elastic region can lead to a significant decrease in the real tightness of surface mandrel drilling.
