Automotive valve springs occupy substantial space in the cylinder head of an internal combustion engine. In this paper, the design and analyses of a flat spring concept, known as flexure bearing are presented. Further, design approach, characteristics and parametric characterizations of a single-piece flexure bearing concept are outlined. Finite element analysis was used in examining the flexure bearing strength for different designs, materials and thicknesses. The results show that the maximum stress values are independent of the material types when the number of arm is three and above. The strain values are limited to less than 1% for all materials when the thickness is more than 1mm.  The results have provided characteristics for future selection of the flexure bearing in relation to the intended axial displacement.

Purpose: To analyze the stress distribution and the direction of force in external hexagonal implant with crown in three different angulations. Materials and Methods: A total of 60 samples of geometric models were used to analyze von Mises stress and direction of force with 0-, 5-, and 10-degree lingual tilt. Von Mises stress and force distribution were evaluated at nodes of hard bone, and finite element analysis was performed using ANSYS 12.1 software. For calculating stress distribution and force, we categorized and labeled the groups as Implant A1, Implant A2, and Implant A3, and Implant B1, Implant B2, and Implant B3 with 0-, 5-, and 10-degree lingual inclinations, respectively. Inter- and intra-group comparisons were performed using ANOVA test. A p-value of ≤0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: In all the three models, overall maximum stress was found in implant model A3 on the implant surface (86.61), and minimum was found on model A1 in hard bone (26.21). In all the three models, the direction of force along three planes was maximum in DX (0.01025) and minimum along DZ (0.002) direction with model B1. Conclusion: Maximum von Mises stress and the direction of force in axial direction was found at the maximum with the implant of 10 degrees angulation. Thus, it was evident that tilting of an implant influences the stress concentration and force in external hex implants.

The thermal stress and strain, from the thermal mismatch of neighboring materials, are the major causes of fracture in InSb IRFPA. Basing on viscoelastic model describing underfill, the structural stress of 16×16 InSb IRFPA under thermal shock is studied with finite element method. Simulation results show that as the diameters of indium bump increase from 20μm to 36μm in step of 2μm, the maximum stress existing in InSb chip first increases slightly, and fluctuates near 28µm, then decreases gradually. Furthermore, the varied tendency seems to have nothing to do with indium bump standoff height, and with thicker indium bump height, the maximal Von Mises stress in InSb chip is smaller. All these mean that the thicker underfill is in favor of reducing the stress in InSb chip and improving the final yield.

Abstract Introduction Dental implants are common treatment modality for tooth loss which leads to unaesthetic appearance and may also cause deterioration of mastication and speech. The aim of implant therapy in dentistry is to restore tissue contour, function, comfort, aesthetic, and speech. Dental implant role is to transfer the mechanical force created during chewing to the supporting osseous tissues within the mandible and maxilla. The importance of biomechanical factors such as the bone-implant interface, implant thread design, the length and diameter of implants, type of loading, the quality and quantity of surrounding bone have been strained by various authors. The selection of implant thread design plays an important role in the outcome of the treatment. This study was done to evaluate the influence of different thread designs on stress distribution of osseointegrated implant using three-dimensional (3D) finite-element analysis. Materials and Methods Three implants with different thread designs, namely V-thread, buttress, and reverse buttress thread designs were considered and dimensions were standardized. The site considered was the mandibular molar region with cortical and cancellous bone assuming to be isotropic and homogeneous. The implant modeling was done with the ANSYS 18.1 software. Axial load (100N) and buccolingual load (50N) were applied. The stresses were calculated as Von Mises stress criterion. Results Minimum von mises Stress concentration was seen for tapered implant body with reverse buttress thread design under axial load 100N and tapered implant body with V-thread under buccolingual load of 50N at cortical bone which signifies bone preservation. Stress levels were observed maximum at implant and minimum at the cancellous bone. Conclusion Hence, within the limitations of this study the results obtained can be applied clinically for appropriate selection of implant thread design for a predictable success of implant therapy.

The primary link of an IC engine is a connecting rod. Its position is in-between the crankshaft and the piston whose key function is to convert the piston motion which is reciprocating in nature into rotary motion of the crank by transmitting the piston thrust to the crankshaft. This has entailed performing a detailed load analysis. In this paper, connecting rod's finite element analysis was done using Finite Element techniques. So firstly by using the schematic diagram the solid model of the connecting rod was created using Solid works software. Then using the Ansys R17.1 software the meshing was done and then the Finite element analysis is done to find the Equivalent (Von-Mises) stresses and the Factor of Safety under the loading conditions. Structural Steel is the material which is used for connecting rod and the loading conditions are assumed to be static. In Equivalent (Von-Mises) stress test maximum stress is found to be 1.504x108 Pa and the minimum factor of safety is 1.20765 for the connecting rod

This paper presents the use of a genetic algorithm in conjunction with geometric nonlinear finite element analysis to optimize the fastener pattern and lug location in an eccentrically loaded multi-fastener connection. No frictional resistance to shear was included in the model, as the connection transmitted shear loads into four dowel fasteners through bearing-type contact without fastener preload. With the goal of reducing the maximum von Mises stress in the connection to improve fatigue life, the location of the lug hole and four fastener holes were optimized to achieve 55% less maximum stress than a similar optimization using the traditional instantaneous center of rotation method. Since the maximum stress concentration was located at the edge of a fastener hole where fatigue cracks could be a concern, reduction of this quantity lowers the probability of crack growth for both bearing-type and slip-resistant connections. It was also found that the location of the maximum von Mises stress concentration jumped from the fastener region to the lug as the applied force angle was decreased below 45 degrees, thus the fastener pattern could not be optimized for lower angles.

<p>Abstrak<br />Kegagalan fungsi girder pada lintasan tripper yang sering terjadi disebabkan oleh keretakan pada penopang silang dan tegak, terjadinya defleksi berlebih pada batang utama, dan perubahan posisi pada kedua kolom. Kerusakan strukur diakibatkan oleh ketidaksesuaian pembebanan yang diterima, sehingga memperlemah komponennya dan dapat berakibat runtuhnya struktur girder. Studi dilakukan dengan mengkaji desain yang sudah ada melalui pendefenisian pembebanan, selanjutnya melakukan perhitungan mekanika pada tiga model pembebanan yang berbeda dan pengecekan kelayakan desain dengan metode LRFD berdasarkan SNI 03-1729-2002 dengan validasi menggunakan analisis elemen hingga. Hasil menunjukkan terjadinya ketidaksesuaian pembebanan yang berakibat kerusakan girder, sehingga diperlukan desain alternatif melalui pemilihan profil, perhitungan kelayakan profil dan analisis ulang untuk memastikan kehandalan rancangan. Dari hasil analisis perhitungan dapat disimpulkan bahwa desain alternatif mempunyai kehandalan yang memadai yaitu defleksinya 0,35 mm dibanding desain lama 15,96 mm berdasarkan perhitungan mekanik, sedangkan hasil analisis elemen hingga, defleksi desain baru 1,08 mm dan desain lama 10,37 mm. Tegangan maksimum desain baru adalah aman terhadap material yang digunakan, yaitu SS400 dengan kekuatan sebesar 245 MPa, dimana hasil perhitungan mekanika diperoleh tegangan maksimum desain baru 52,00 MPa, sedangkan tegangan maksimum hasil analisis elemen hingga adalah 56,31 MPa dan tegangan Von Mises 143,39 MPa.<br />Kata kunci : girder, tripper, LFRD, elemen hingga, Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI).</p><p><br />Abstract<br />Malfunction of girder on track tripper that often occurred is caused by cracks in the cross and upright supports, occurrence of excessive deflection on main bar, and a change in position of the both columns. Structural failure is caused by loading discrepancies received, so it is weaken its components and resulted in the collapse of the girder structure. The study was conducted by reviewing existing design through loading analysis, then performing the mechanical calculation on three different loading models and checking the feasibility of the design with LRFD method based on SNI 03-1729-2002 with validation using finite element analysis. Results showed the loading discrepancies resulting in damaged girder, so it is necessary to make design alternatives through the selection of profiles, re-calculation and feasibility analysis of the beam to ensure the reliability of the design. From the calculation analysis, it can be concluded that the alternative design has adequate reliability. Based on mechanical calculations the deflection is 0.35 mm compared to 15.96 mm of the old design, while the result of finite element analysis determine 1.08 mm deflection of the new design and 10.37 mm in old design. The maximum stress of the new design is safe for the material used, ie SS400 with a strength of 245 MPa, wherein mechanical calculation resulted in obtained maximum stress of the new design is 52.00 MPa, while the maximum stress through finite element analysis result is 56.31 MPa and Von Mises stress is 143.39 Mpa.<br />Keywords: girder, tripper, LFRD, finite element, National Indonesian Standard (SNI).</p>

Aim: This study compared the stress distributions of endodontically treated tooth restored with carbon and titanium post under thermal and mechanical loading conditions. Methodology: A 3-dimensional finite element model was created to represent in a labiolingual cross-sectional view of an endodontically treated maxillary central incisor tooth with its supporting structures. It was modified according to two post systems with different physical properties consisting titanium, and carbon fiber. Stress distribution and stress values were then calculated by considering the three dimensional von Mises stress criteria. Results: A 100-N static vertical occlusal load was applied on the node at the center of occlusal surface of the tooth. The von Mises stress values for carbon post model was on the coronal third and the cervical area of the root in the range of 436,16 and 3,59 MPa,  for titanium post model was 590,55 and 3,05 MPa. Thermal stress values for carbon post model showed that maximum stress concentrations were noted on the coronal third and the top of the post area of the root in the range of 509,94 and 6,38 MPa. Titanium post model showed that maximum stress concentrations were noted on the coronal third and top of the post area of the root in the range of 1165,06 and 3,06 MPa. Conclusion: This study shows that the titanium post yields larger stresses than the carbon post under thermal conditions.  How to cite this article: Adıgüzel Ö, Yiğit Özer S, Bahşi E, Yavuz İ.

Abstract Polyethylene (PE) pipes are widely used in oil and gas transportation, municipal construction. Electrofusion (EF) welding is one of the most commonly used connection method for PE pipes. The welding quality of EF joints is crucial to the safety of PE pipeline. Resistor wire is an important part of pipe fittings, and has great influence in final welding quality and strength of EF joints. In this paper, we discussed the influence of resistor wire for EF fittings in the aspect of selection of resistor wire materials and determination of structural dimensions. Resistivity and temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) are two factors for material selection. In addition, the influence of resistor wire structure, i.e., resistor wire spacing, resistor wire diameter, on the stress distribution of EF joint was discussed through finite element analysis. The results revealed that the maximum stress in EF joint increase with the diameter of resistor wire, and is barely affected by resistor wire spacing.
