The functional properties of a workpiece are determined by a modification of the surface and subsurface materials. In this work, the correlation between thermo-mechanical material loads and the modification of the residual stresses is presented. While the resulting residual stresses were measured by X-ray diffraction after machining experiments, the material loads were determined using a process simulation. The experimental data (measured process forces and results from previous experiments) are used to validate the simulation, which is then applied to calculate the internal thermo-mechanical loads of the maximal temperature and the equivalent von-Mises-stresses per volume element during the machining experiments. In conclusion, a higher depth impact of mechanical loads compared to a lower depth impact of thermal loads in precision machining is observed. For the sake of novelty, the thermo-mechanical loads were plotted and interpreted in a three-dimensional fashion. Finally, cross sections of this mutual representation at certain constant material loads—thermal and mechanical—result in a process signature, which can prospectively improve the prediction of functional workpiece properties.

A three-dimensional finite element modelling of the laser surface nitriding of Ti-6A1-4V alloy is presented. Design capabilities of ANSYS parametric design language (APDL) were employed for this purpose. The model calculates transient temperature profiles, the dimensions of fusion zone and residual stresses in the laser surface nitrided Ti-6A1-4V alloy. Model simulations are compared with experimental results, acquired on-line using an ultra-high-speed shutter camera which is able to acquire well-contrasted images of the molten pool, and off-line using metallographical and X-ray diffraction analyses which show very good agreement. The results are further discussed to provide directions for reducing the residual stresses, as well as for feedback and process control.

In order to assure structural integrity for operating welded structures, it is necessary to evaluate crack growth rate and crack propagation direction for each observed crack non-destructively. Here, three dimensional (3D) welding residual stresses must be evaluated to predict crack propagation. Today, X-ray diffraction is used and the ultrasonic method has been proposed as non-destructive method to measure residual stresses. However, it is impossible to determine residual stress distributions in the thickness direction. Although residual stresses through a depth of several tens of millimeters can be evaluated non-destructively by neutron diffraction, it cannot be used as an on-site measurement technique. This is because neutron diffraction is only available in special irradiation facilities. Author pays attention to the bead flush method based on the eigenstrain methodology. In this method, 3D welding residual stresses are calculated by an elastic Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis from eigenstrains which are evaluated by an inverse analysis from released strains by strain gauges in the removal of the reinforcement of the weld. Here, the removal of the excess metal can be regarded as non-destructive treatment because toe of weld which may become crack starters can be eliminated. The effectiveness of the method has been proven for welded plates and pipes even with relatively lower bead height. In actual measurements, stress evaluation accuracy becomes poorer because measured values of strain gauges are affected by processing strains on the machined surface. In the previous studies, the author has developed the bead flush method that is free from the influence of the affecting strains by using residual strains on surface by X-ray diffraction. However, stress evaluation accuracy is not good enough because of relatively poor measurement accuracy of X-ray diffraction. In this study, a method to improve the estimation accuracy of residual stresses in this method is formulated, and it is shown numerically that inner welding residual stresses can be estimated accurately from the residual strains measured by X-ray diffraction.

Background: Vertebroplasty is an effective treatment for osteoporotic vertebral fractures, which are one of the most common fractures associated with osteoporosis. However, clinical observation has shown that the risk of adjacent vertebral body fractures may increase after vertebroplasty. The mechanism underlying adjacent vertebral body fracture after vertebroplasty is not clear; excessive stiffness resulting from polymethyl methacrylate has been suspected as an important mechanism. Objectives: The aim of our study was to compare the effects of bone cement stiffness on adjacent vertebrae after osteoporotic vertebroplasty under load-controlled versus displacementcontrolled conditions. Study Design: An experimental computer study using a finite element analysis. Setting: Medical research institute, university hospital, Korea. Methods: A three-dimensional digital anatomic model of L1/2 bone structure was reconstructed from human computed tomographic images. The reconstructed three-dimensional geometry was processed for finite element analysis such as meshing elements and applying material properties. Two boundary conditions, load-controlled and displacement-controlled methods, were applied to each of 5 deformation modes: compression, flexion, extension, lateral bending, and torsion. Results: The adjacent L1 vertebra, irrespective of augmentation, revealed nearly similar maximum von Mises stresses under the load-controlled condition. However, for the displacementcontrolled condition, the maximum von Mises stresses in the cortical bone and inferior endplate of the adjacent L1 vertebra increased significantly after cement augmentation. This increase was more significant than that with stiffer bone cement under all modes, except the torsion mode. Limitations: The finite element model was simplified, excluding muscular forces and incorporating a large volume of bone cement, to more clearly demonstrate effects of bone cement stiffness on adjacent vertebrae after vertebroplasty. Conclusion: Excessive stiffness of augmented bone cement increases the risk of adjacent vertebral fractures after vertebroplasty in an osteoporotic finite element model. This result was most prominently observed using the displacement-controlled method. Key words: Bone cements, displacement-controlled method, finite element analysis, loadcontrolled method, osteoporosis, osteoporotic fracture, polymethyl methacrylate, vertebroplasty

O presente trabalho constitui-se de uma análise numérica, por meio de elementos finitos, objetivando a reprodução via software de um ensaio experimental de ligação parafusada semirrígida em perfis formados a frio, dada no âmbito tridimensional. A análise consistiu-se a partir da reprodução da geometria do protótipo, das condições de contorno e aplicação de carregamento. Para melhor previsão do comportamento da ligação, foram inseridas ao modelo a não linearidade física e geométrica. Foram obtidas as curvas força-deslocamento e a evolução das tensões de Von Mises para os diferentes componentes do protótipo. Os resultados indicaram que o modelo numérico é cerca de duas vezes mais rígido que o experimental. Todavia, foi possível observar que o comportamento do modelo numérico possui tendência similar ao do modelo experimental e também foi possível avaliar a contribuição dos elementos da ligação para o desempenho da mesma.Palavras-chave: Análise numérica.

The analysis consisted of the reproduction of the prototype geometry, the boundary conditions, and the loading application. For a better forecast of the connection behavior, physical and geometric non-linearity were inserted to the model. The force-displacement curves and the evolution of the Von Mises stresses for the different prototype components were obtained. The results indicated that the numerical model is about twice as rigid as the experimental one. However, it was possible to observe that the behavior of the numerical model has a similar tendency  if compared to  the experimental model and it was still possible to evaluate the contribution of the connection elements to its performance.Keywords: Numerical analysis.

During the firing of guns, the barrel undergoes two major damaging processes: wear of its inner surface and internal cracking. Barrel's are condemned based on either the increase of their internal diameter due to wear or the severity of their internal cracking. The cost of replacing such a damaged gun barrel runs in the tenth of thousands of U.S.$. Therefore, cost effective methods are sought for restoring such gun barrels. In the present analysis, a new method is proposed for refurbishing vintage gun barrels by machining their inner damaged layer and replacing it by an intact, autofrettaged, shrink-fit liner that will restore the barrel to its original performance. The design of the shrink-fitted liner is based on two design principles. First, the von-Mises residual stress distribution through the thickness of the barrel at each of its cross sections along the inserted liner should be at least equal in magnitude to von Mises stress, which prevailed in the original barrel. Second, once the maximum pressure is applied to the compound barrel, the von-Mises stresses at the inner surfaces of the liner machined barrel should be equal to their respective yield stresses. The preliminary results demonstrate the ability of this process to mend such barrels and bringing them back to their initial safe maximum pressure (SMP) and their intact conditions, rather than condemn them. Furthermore, from the authors' experience, based on a preliminary rough estimate, such an alternative seems to be cost effective.

Objective This study used finite element analysis (FEA) to assess the von Mises stresses of a mandibular first premolar after removing a separated instrument with an ultrasonic technique. Methods FEA models of the original and treated mandibular first premolar were reconstructed, and three models (the original canal, size 30/taper 0.04 canal, and separated instrument removal canal) were created. Two-direction (vertical and lateral) loading patterns were simulated with a 175-N force. The maximum von Mises stresses of the models within the roots from the apex to the cervical region were collected and summarized. Results Under vertical and lateral loads, all maximal values in the three models were localized in the straight-line access region. Compared with the original model (model 1), the treated models (models 2 and 3) had greater maximum stress values from the apex to the cervical region. Greater differences in the maximum von Mises stresses between models 2 and 3 were present in the straight-line access region. Conclusions Separated instrument removal caused changes in stress distribution and increases in stress concentration in the straight-line access region of roots.

This paper investigates the deformations and stresses in the buttocks of a person when he sits on a cushion. The study is motivated by the need for a better understanding of the design of wheelchair cushions and the prevention of decubitus ulcers. The finite element method is used on an axisymmetric model. Surface pressure distribution, surface friction, hydrostatic pressures and von Mises stresses are obtained. The finite element model reveals the three-dimensional state of stress at all internal locations for a typical human body. Thus the study complements the experimental measurements performed by many physicians and bioengineers.
