The necessary theoretical and methodological foundation is provided by means of which the human mastication process could be studied and reproduced in a digital dynamic way. This paper reviews previous publications and elaborates further mathematical analysis and mechanical analysis of biomechanical functions, explaining the characteristics of human mandible, Temporomandibular joints (TMJs), muscles based on clinical anatomy, and analysing the inter-relationship and inter-reflection between each component of this multi-body assembled organism.

Definitions of terms masticatory system and vocal organs are used as introduction to analysis of their relations. Articulation involves masticatory and respiratory systems the primary functions of which are different from generation of sounds and particularly speech. However, proper and consistent action of these systems is indispensable for generation of understandable words. The paper presents basic properties of structure and functions of masticatory system at various levels of its development. Particular attention was concentrated on all elements of mascicatory system (lips, dental arches, tongue, palate, and muscles of temporomandibular joints) on shaping mechanisms of speech.

Computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the temporomandibular joint are often not a routine part of a dental patient's pain and clinical evaluation. As a result, the most poorly understood region within the masticatory system is the temporomandibular joint foundation. Unfortunately, patient care and occlusal management are often compromised because of a lack of insight into the relationship between the anatomy of the temporomandibular joints and the occlusion. This chapter's four distinct sections review the key concepts about the temporomandibular joint foundation anatomical structures, detail structurally intact and structurally altered temporomandibular joint anatomy, clarify how structurally altered temporomandibular joints influence occlusal function, and classify the stages of temporomandibular joint structural degeneration. The concept of joint-based malocclusion is explored with numerous temporomandibular joint foundation anomalous software renderings, and sample CT and MR images, which together illustrate in detail how soft tissue and bony abnormalities in a structurally altered temporomandibular joint can create distortions in the occlusion. Lastly, the chapter addresses the specific requirements a clinician must technically master to perform a comprehensive CT or MR examination.

Kinematics and dynamics are the most important and basic tool for robot research. With the help of computer technology and the respective advantages of three kinds of software, a new method of co-simulation of parallel robot based on multi-platform is proposed, and the mechanical model of multi-body system of 3-revolute-prismatic-spherical parallel robot is established. According to the mechanical analysis of the parallel robot, the rigid-flexible coupling analysis method is adopted. The displacement error shows a periodic change with a period of 4.2 s and the maximum error is [Formula: see text]. The dangerous part of the structure is the root of the lower link, and its maximum stress is 202.64 MPa less than the yield strength of the material. The multi-software platform co-simulation improves the accuracy of the dynamic response analysis of the part under dynamic load, and provides an important theoretical basis for the design and optimization of the parallel robot.

Multi-body dynamics is a powerful engineering tool which is becoming increasingly popular for the simulation and analysis of skull biomechanics. This paper presents the first application of multi-body dynamics to analyse the biomechanics of the rabbit skull. A model has been constructed through the combination of manual dissection and three-dimensional imaging techniques (magnetic resonance imaging and micro-computed tomography). Individual muscles are represented with multiple layers, thus more accurately modelling muscle fibres with complex lines of action. Model validity was sought through comparing experimentally measured maximum incisor bite forces with those predicted by the model. Simulations of molar biting highlighted the ability of the masticatory system to alter recruitment of two muscle groups, in order to generate shearing or crushing movements. Molar shearing is capable of processing a food bolus in all three orthogonal directions, whereas molar crushing and incisor biting are predominately directed vertically. Simulations also show that the masticatory system is adapted to process foods through several cycles with low muscle activations, presumably in order to prevent rapidly fatiguing fast fibres during repeated chewing cycles. Our study demonstrates the usefulness of a validated multi-body dynamics model for investigating feeding biomechanics in the rabbit, and shows the potential for complementing and eventually reducing in vivo experiments.

The aim of this literature review is to present the main advantages of pre-prosthetic preparation of the masticatory system with occlusal appliances. The possibilities for attaining muscle relaxation at the achieved centric condyle position in the temporomandibular joints are discussed. The advantages, in terms of hard dental tissue protection, the diagnostic value and the psychoprophylactic effect, are considered. The wide-ranging benefits of the use of occlusal appliances in bruxism- and bruxomania-related craniomandibular dysfunctions are indisputable and represent a current scientific interest.

This paper focuses on the transform relationships between each element and between elements with inertial system under different attitude coordinate system in the finite element multi-body system mechanical analysis of the flexible rope process. It mainly research the attitude coordinate transformation matrix between the of flexible rope Micro-element and inertial system under the four coordinate system which are the direction cosine coordinates, finite rotation four element coordinates, Euler angle coordinate and Cardan angle coordinates, and the relationship between the connecting base on the element type and inertial reference based.
