The loading force of the artificial bone implanted into the human body and the flowing, growth and deposition of cells were influenced by the gradient porous structure. The software of ANSYS Workbench was used in the paper for the stress and strain analysis of the gradient porous structure of the established 3D artificial bone. The variation of the maximum equivalent stress and maximum equivalent strain and elastic modulus changed through the changing of the loading force and porosity. Basis on meeting the mechanical properties, the porosity was used as the index for the optimization of the porous structure of the artificial bone. And it also laid the foundation for the subsequent laser sintering.

The deformation of the flexspline and the meshing quality are largely determined by the profile of a wave generator. The wave generator with a combined profile can effectively reduce or improve the deformation stress and strain of the flexspline for improving the transmission efficiency and reducing wear or noise. In this paper, in view of the facts that conic is originally cut out of the cone and different conic curves are easy to transform, a design concept of the curve cam wave generator based on the conic curve is proposed. Firstly, the combined principle, constraint conditions, and mathematic model of the curve cam generator based on the conic curve are established. Secondly, the deformation theory of the flexspline acted by the curve cam wave generator with conic curves has been developed, and finite element analysis on stress and strain of the flexspline compared with a standard elliptic wave generator has been carried out. Finally, a cam wave generator combined with the circle and ellipse as a sample has been developed and manufactured. Circumferential strain test has been further carried out by a static strain gauge to verify the strain characteristics of the flexspline acted with the circle and ellipse combined cam wave generator. The FEM results show that, in the meshing area of the flexspline, the maximum equivalent stress of the flexspline under the action of the arc and the ellipse wave generator is about 93 MPa, which is 36.3% lower than the maximum equivalent stress of the flexspline under the action of the standard ellipse which is 143 MPa. The experimental results show that the fitting curve of the experimental results fits well with the finite element analysis curve.

Titanium (Ti) and its alloys are attracting special attention in the field of dentistry and orthopedic bioengineering because of their mechanical adaptability and biological compatibility with the natural bone. The dental implant is subjected to masticatory forces in the oral environment and transfers these forces to the surrounding bone tissue. Therefore, by simulating the mechanical behavior of implants and surrounding bone tissue we can assess the effects of implants on bone growth quite accurately. In this study, dental implants with different gradient pore structures that consisted of simple cubic (structure a), body centered cubic (structure b) and side centered cubic (structure c) were designed, respectively. The strength of the designed gradient porous implant in the oral environment was simulated by three-dimensional finite element simulation technique to assess the mechanical adaptation by the stress-strain distribution within the surrounding bone tissue and by examining the fretting of the implant-bone interface. The results show that the maximum equivalent stress and strain in the surrounding bone tissue increase with the increase of porosity. The stress distribution of the gradient implant with a smaller difference between outer and inner pore structure is more uniform. So, a-b type porous implant exhibited less stress concentration. For a-b structure, when the porosity is between 40 and 47%, the stress and strain of bone tissue are in the range of normal growth. When subject to lingual and buccal stresses, an implant with higher porosity can achieve more uniform stress distribution in the surrounding cancellous bone than that of low porosity implant. Based on the simulated results, to achieve an improved mechanical fixation of the implant, the optimum gradient porous structure parameters should be: average porosity 46% with an inner porosity of 13% (b structure) and outer porosity of 59% (a structure), and outer pore sized 500 μm. With this optimized structure, the bone can achieve optimal ingrowth into the gradient porous structure, thus provide stable mechanical fixation of the implant. The maximum equivalent stress achieved 99 MPa, which is far below the simulation yield strength of 299 MPa.

The All-on-4 design was used successfully for restoring edentulous mandible. This design avoids anatomic cripples such as inferior alveolar nerve by tilting posterior implants. Moreover, tilting posterior implants of All-on-4 design had a mechanical preference than the conventional design. On the other hand, the anterior implants are parallel at the lateral incisor region. Several researches showed favorable results for tilting posterior implants. However, research did not study the influence of the anterior implant position or orientation on the mechanical aspects of this design. This study analyzes the influence of varying anterior implant position and orientation of the All-on-4 design using nonlinear contact 3D finite-element analysis. Three copied 3-dimensional models of the All-on-4 design were classified according to anterior implant position and orientation. The frictional contact between fixtures and bone was the contact type in this finite element analysis. Finally, von Mises stress and strain at implant and bone levels were recorded and analyzed using finite element software. Stress concentrations were detected mainly around the posterior implant at the loaded side. Values of the maximum equivalent stress and strain were around tilted implants of design III followed by design II, then design I. Changing the position or orientation of the anterior implants in All-on-4 design influences stress-strain distribution of the whole design.

In this paper, the purpose is to compare three different cone fit of dental implant around the surrounding bone tissue that influence on fatigue and biomechanics, it is also to provide a theoretical basis for the design and clinical application of dental implant. The method is that loading the force 100N and 200N with different angle to the three different cone with dental implant with the finite element analysis (FEA) that analyzes the stress and fatigue in ideal conditions. The Results is that when the loading is vertical, cone for 3 degrees of the implant have the best performance. The cone for 80 degrees of the implant is min among the max equivalent stress of the implants. However, comprehensive view, Cone for 24 degrees of the implant the most stable. we find that cone of different implant when subjected to the same force the maximum equivalent stress is different, smaller conical implant under vertical load force have good performance, but with the increase of the loading angle the bigger conical implant performance better.
