Due to their complexity, certain engineering problems like finding shock strength, Mach number etc. and the interaction of shock wave with a structure in free and restricted metal forming techniques cannot be achieved in a single experimentation, these can be obtained only through a number of trials and that leads to increase in cost and time. In such cases both cost and time can be reduced by adopting numerical simulations. In this projectcommercial software ANSYS is used to simulate the propagation shock wave through a shock tube, free and shape forming of metallic plates subjected to this shock wave. Shock Mach numbers up to 2.12 have been generated by varying the driver to driven pressure ratios. Thin copper plates of diameter 60mm and thickness of 0.5mm and 0.3mm are subjected to shock wave loadingin order to form into dies.These dies,madeof structural steel are modelled with pre-defined shapes. The plate peakoverpressures ranging from 9 to 20bar have been generated.The midpoint deflection, Von Mises stress and strain are calculated for free forming copper plates. The simulated results are compared with the experimental values available in literature. The simulated results match well with the experimental values.

Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to compare methods used for calculating heterogeneous patient-specific bone properties used in finite element analysis (FEA), in the field of implant dentistry, with the method based on homogenous bone properties. Materials and Methods In this study, three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography data of an edentulous patient were processed to create a finite element model, and five identical 3D implant models were created and distributed throughout the dental arch. Based on the calculation methods used for bone material assignment, four groups—groups I to IV—were defined. Groups I to III relied on heterogeneous bone property assignment based on different equations, whereas group IV relied on homogenous bone properties. Finally, 150 N vertical and 60-degree-inclined forces were applied at the top of the implant abutments to calculate the von Mises stress and strain. Results Groups I and II presented the highest stress and strain values, respectively. Based on the implant location, differences were observed between the stress values of group I, II, and III compared with group IV; however, no clear order was noted. Accordingly, variable von Mises stress and strain reactions at the bone–implant interface were observed among the heterogeneous bone property groups when compared with the homogenous property group results at the same implant positions. Conclusion Although the use of heterogeneous bone properties as material assignments in FEA studies seem promising for patient-specific analysis, the variations between their results raise doubts about their reliability. The results were influenced by implants’ locations leading to misleading clinical simulations.

This paper investigated the effect of the tenon length on the strength and stiffness of the standard mortise and tenon joints, as well of the double mortise and tenon joints, that were bonded by poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) and polyurethane (PU) glues. The strength was analyzed by measuring applied load and by calculating ultimate bending moment and bending moment at the proportional limit. Stiffness was evaluated by measuring displacement and by calculating the ratio of applied force and displacement along the force line. The results were compared with the data obtained by the simplified static expressions and numerical calculation of the orthotropic linear-elastic model. The results indicated that increasing tenon length increased the maximal moment and proportional moment of the both investigated joints types. The analytically calculated moments were increased more than the experimental values for both joint types, and they had generally lower values than the proportional moments for the standard tenon joints, as opposed to the double tenon joints. The Von Mises stress distribution showed characteristic zones of the maximum and increased stress values. These likewise were monitored in analytical calculations. The procedures could be successfully used to achieve approximate data of properties of loaded joints.

In this study, we developed a three-dimensional (3D) human body model and a body sculpting clothing (BSC) which was fitted onto that body to simulate the biomechanical stress variations of the BSC with different porosity structures using the finite element method. The mechanical properties of the BSC with different porosity structures were also examined through the tensile testing. Analytical results indicated that the Von Mises stress of the BSC with a porosity structure of 10.28% varied from 0.076 MPa to 337.79 MPa. As compared with a porosity structure of 35.18%, the von Mises stress varied from 0.067 MPa to 207.30 MPa. The von Mises stress decreased as the porosity increasing. Based on the statistical analysis findings, we obtained a formula to predict the biomechanical relationships (von Mises stress and strain) between the human body and porosity of the BSC. Therefore, these findings could offer potential information in the modification of BSC for pain-relieving applications.

There are two proportional invariants for a linear isotropic material, the hydrostatic invariant, and the deviatoric invariant. The former is proportional to the trace of the tensor and the latter is proportional to the trace of the square of the associated deviatoric tensor. The hydrostatic stress and strain and the von Mises stress and strain are directly related to the hydrostatic and deviatoric proportional invariants, respectively, for an isotropic, linear elastic material. For each anisotropic linear elastic material symmetry there are up to six proportional invariants. In this paper we illustrate the six proportional invariants of an orthotropic elastic material using the elastic constants for spruce as the numerical example. The proportional elastic invariants play a role in anisotropic linear elasticity similar to the roles played by the hydrostatic stress and strain and the von Mises stress and strain in isotropic elasticity. They are the unique parameters whose contours represent both the stress and the strain distributions. They also have potential for representing failure or fracture criteria.

Aims The material and design of knee components can have a considerable effect on the contact characteristics of the tibial post. This study aimed to analyze the stress distribution on the tibial post when using different grades of polyethylene for the tibial inserts. In addition, the contact properties of fixed-bearing and mobile-bearing inserts were evaluated. Methods Three different grades of polyethylene were compared in this study; conventional ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE), and vitamin E-stabilized polyethylene (VEPE). In addition, tibial baseplates with a fixed-bearing and a mobile-bearing insert were evaluated to understand differences in the contact properties. The inserts were implanted in neutral alignment and with a 10° internal malrotation. The contact stress, von Mises stress, and equivalent plastic strain (PEEQ) on the tibial posts were extracted for comparison. Results The stress and strain on the tibial post for the three polyethylenes greatly increased when the insert was placed in malrotation, showing a 38% to 56% increase in von Mises stress and a 335% to 434% increase in PEEQ. The VEPE insert had the lowest PEEQ among the three materials. The mobile-bearing design exhibited a lower increase in stress and strain around the tibial posts than the fixed-bearing design. Conclusion Using VEPE for the tibial component potentially eliminates the risk of material permanent deformation. The mobile-bearing insert can help to avoid a dramatic increase in plastic strain around the tibial post in cases of malrotation. The mobility allows the pressure to be distributed on the tibial post and demonstrated lower stresses with all three polyethylenes simulated. Cite this article: Bone Joint Res 2020;9(11):768–777.

OBJECT Concussions typically resolve within several days, but in a few cases the symptoms last for a month or longer and are termed persistent postconcussive symptoms (PPCS). These persisting symptoms may also be associated with more serious brain trauma similar to subdural hematoma (SDH). The objective of this study was to investigate the head dynamic and brain tissue responses of injury reconstructions resulting in concussion, PPCS, and SDH. METHODS Reconstruction cases were obtained from sports medicine clinics and hospitals. All subjects received a direct blow to the head resulting in symptoms. Those symptoms that resolved in 9 days or fewer were defined as concussions (n = 3). Those with symptoms lasting longer than 18 months were defined as PPCS (n = 3), and 3 patients presented with SDHs (n = 3). A Hybrid III headform was used in reconstruction to obtain linear and rotational accelerations of the head. These dynamic response data were then input into the University College Dublin Brain Trauma Model to calculate maximum principal strain and von Mises stress. A Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Tukey post hoc tests were used to compare head dynamic and brain tissue responses between injury groups. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. RESULTS A significant difference was identified for peak resultant linear and rotational acceleration between injury groups. Post hoc analyses revealed the SDH group had higher linear and rotational acceleration responses (316 g and 23,181 rad/sec2, respectively) than the concussion group (149 g and 8111 rad/sec2, respectively; p < 0.05). No significant differences were found between groups for either brain tissue measures of maximum principal strain or von Mises stress. CONCLUSIONS The reconstruction of accidents resulting in a concussion with transient symptoms (low severity) and SDHs revealed a positive relationship between an increase in head dynamic response and the risk for more serious brain injury. This type of relationship was not found for brain tissue stress and strain results derived by finite element analysis. Future research should be undertaken using a larger sample size to confirm these initial findings. Understanding the relationship between the head dynamic and brain tissue response and the nature of the injury provides important information for developing strategies for injury prevention.

A useful way to estimate the local Mach number of shock propagating in a pipe is proposed in this paper. The shock Mach number, or the shock strength gradually decreases or increases as the shock propagates downstream in pipe due to the shock-boundary layer interaction. In general, the shock Mach number is estimated through the measurement of the time, which it takes for the shock to propagate between any two points along the pipe. This technique is very useful if the decreasing rate of the shock strength is given and it, after all, yields the average Mach number between the two points. In this paper the measurement of the local Mach number of shock in the shock tube is examined using one pressure transducer. The pressure history after the shock reaches the pressure tap is analyzed. The method to estimate the local Mach number is discussed considering the dynamic characteristic of the pressure transducer.

The objective of this current in silico study was to evaluate the influence of axial and non-axial loads on unitary implant-supported implants, with external hexagon or Morse-taper connection in two different bone level, using finite element analysis. Two implant models with the same length (13 x 3.75 mm) were analyzed according to the prosthetic connection (external hexagon or morse Taper) and bone height (bone level or 5 mm of bone loss). Both implant systems received screw-retained metallic crowns in chromium-cobalt. The peri-implant tissue was simulated as an isotropic material (polyurethane resin). The polyurethane block has been fixed and a load of 300 N was applied on the occlusal surface in two different directions (Axial or Non-axial) for each implant model and bone condition. The results were analyzed in terms of von-Mises stress and bone microstrain. The materials were considered isotropic, homogeneous, linear and elastic. The results showed that there is no difference regarding the prosthetic connection for the generated stress and strain under the same load incidence. However, bone loss and non-axial loadings increased the stress and strain magnitude regardless the prosthetic connections. In conclusion, the load incidence is more prone to modify the implant stress and bone microstrain than the prosthethic connection. In addition, the higher the bone loss the higher the stress and strain magnitude generated, regardless the loading condition.
