Using ANSYS parametric design language, a three-dimensional finite element model is developed to analyze the stress distribution and the strength of the mega columns for XRL West Kowloon Terminus. The detailed von Mises stress distribution in each column, vertical stiffener plates and the diaphragm plates is obtained. From the analysis, the phenomenon of stress concentration is obvious in both upper and lower diaphragm plates. The local value of von Mises stress in them is higher than the yield stress value, which must be avoided by more detailed local structural design.

The main components of the opposed biconinal cone screw high-pressure seawater hydraulic pump is the rubber bush and metal cone screw, and the interaction of the bush and cone screw is one of the main factors affecting the novel pump performance. The deformation and stress of the bush and cone screw under the initial interference is analyzed by the nonlinear finite element analysis. The analysis shows that: under the effect of the initial interference, large displacement is present to the radial surface of the cone screw, and the displacement of the radial surface mainly affects the displacement vector sum of the cone screw, and the deformation decreases gradually from the middle to the ends of the cone screw, while the cone screw is bending; the deformation in three direction of the bush is close to each other, but the location of the maximum displacement in each direction is different; with the shrink range increasing, the deformation of the cone screw and bush increases, but the deformation of the cone screw is much smaller than that of bush, so the deformation of the bush mainly affects the seal between the cone screw and bush, and the shrink range between the cone screw and bush decreases because of the deformation of the bush. Over the role of the interference force, the maximum von mises stress of the cone screw is an order larger than that of bush, and the maximum von mises stress both increases with the shrink range increasing; although shrink range is different, the location of the maximum von mises about the cone screw and bush is the same.

In shaft coupling, based on the finite element theory, stress distribution in shaft coupling can be obtained. After the shaft coupling is carried on the modal analysis, fifth-order inherent frequency from first-order to fifth-order can be calculated out. After modal of shaft coupling can be expanded, relative displacement vector sum and relative Von Mises stress mode of shaft coupling from first-order to fifth-order can be obtained.

Abstract Contact Lens-related Discomfort (CLD) is one of the major problems in about 50% of contact lens users. It is a symptom of a variety of conditions such as Lid Wiper Epitheliopathy (LWE), Superior Epithelial Arcuate Lesion (SEAL), Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency (LSCD), Superior Limbic Keratoconjunctivitis (SLK) and dry eye disease; which affect the quality of life. Hence, it is essential to investigate the underlying cause of CLD. During a blink, the under surface of the eyelid tends to interact with the cornea and the conjunctiva. The presence of a contact lens can add to the biomechanical changes on these surfaces. To estimate these changes with and without a contact lens, a Finite Element Model (FEM) of the eyelid wiper, eyeball and contact lens was developed using COMSOL Multiphysics®. Biomechanical properties such as von Mises stress and displacement were calculated. Our study concluded that large stress formed in the lid wiper could be the reason for the occurrence of LWE and SLK without contact lens in the eye. When the contact lens was in situ, large stress was found in the superior 1.3mm of the cornea which could be responsible for the development of SEAL and superior LSCD.

An ideal occlusal scheme plays an important role in a good prognosis of All-on-Four applications, as it does for other implant therapies, due to the potential impact of occlusal loads on implant prosthetic components. The aim of the present three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis (FEA) study was to investigate the stresses on abutments, screws and prostheses that are generated by occlusal loads via different occlusal schemes in the All-on-Four concept. Three-dimensional models of the maxilla, mandible, implants, implant substructures and prostheses were designed according to the All-on-Four concept. Forces were applied from the occlusal contact points formed in maximum intercuspation and eccentric movements in canine guidance occlusion (CGO), group function occlusion (GFO) and lingualized occlusion (LO). The von Mises stress values for abutment and screws and deformation values for prostheses were obtained and results were evaluated comparatively. It was observed that the stresses on screws and abutments were more evenly distributed in GFO. Maximum deformation values for prosthesis were observed in the CFO model for lateral movement both in the maxilla and mandible. Within the limits of the present study, GFO may be suggested to reduce stresses on screws, abutments and prostheses in the All-on-Four concept.

The aim of the present investigation was to calculate the stress distribution generated in the root dentine canal during mechanical rotation of five different NiTi endodontic instruments by means of a finite element analysis (FEA). Two conventional alloy NiTi instruments F360 25/04 and F6 Skytaper 25/06, in comparison to three heat treated alloys NiTI Hyflex CM 25/04, Protaper Next 25/06 and One Curve 25/06 were considered and analyzed. The instruments’ flexibility (reaction force) and geometrical features (cross section, conicity) were previously investigated. For each instrument, dentine root canals with two different elastic moduli(18 and 42 GPa) were simulated with defined apical ratios. Ten different CAD instrument models were created and their mechanical behaviors were analyzed by a 3D-FEA. Static structural analyses were performed with a non-failure condition, since a linear elastic behavior was assumed for all components. All the instruments generated a stress area concentration in correspondence to the root canal curvature at approx. 7 mm from the apex. The maximum values were found when instruments were analyzed in the highest elastic modulus dentine canal. Strain and von Mises stress patterns showed a higher concentration in the first part of curved radius of all the instruments. Conventional Ni-Ti endodontic instruments demonstrated higher stress magnitudes, regardless of the conicity of 4% and 6%, and they showed the highest von Mises stress values in sound, as well as in mineralized dentine canals. Heat-treated endodontic instruments with higher flexibility values showed a reduced stress concentration map. Hyflex CM 25/04 displayed the lowest von Mises stress values of, respectively, 35.73 and 44.30 GPa for sound and mineralized dentine. The mechanical behavior of all rotary endodontic instruments was influenced by the different elastic moduli and by the dentine canal rigidity.

Calibration curves of a multi-component dynamometer is of essence in machining operations in a lathe machine as they serve to provide values of force and stress components for cutting tool development and optimization. In this study, finite element analysis has been used to obtain the deflection and stress response of a two component cutting tool lathe dynamometer, for turning operation, when the cutting tool is subjected to cutting and thrust forces from 98.1N to 686.7N (10 to 70kg-wts), at intervals of 98.1N(10kg-wt). By obtaining the governing equation, modeling the dynamometer assembly, defining boundary conditions, generating the assembly mesh, and simulating in Inventor Professional; horizontal and vertical components of deflection by the dynamometer were read off for three different loading scenarios. For these three loading scenarios, calibration plots by experiment compared with plots obtained from simulation by finite element analysis gave accuracies of 79%, 95%, 84% and 36%, 57%, 63% for vertical and horizontal deflections respectively. Also, plots of horizontal and vertical components of Von Mises stress against applied forces were obtained.

AbstractWith modern-day technical advances, high sagittal oblique osteotomy (HSOO) of the mandible was recently described as an alternative to bilateral sagittal split osteotomy for the correction of mandibular skeletal deformities. However, neither in vitro nor numerical biomechanical assessments have evaluated the performance of fixation methods in HSOO. The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical characteristics and stress distribution in bone and osteosynthesis fixations when using different designs and placing configurations, in order to determine a favourable plating method. We established two finite element models of HSOO with advancement (T1) and set-back (T2) movements of the mandible. Six different configurations of fixation of the ramus, progressively loaded by a constant force, were assessed for each model. The von Mises stress distribution in fixations and in bone, and bony segment displacement, were analysed. The lowest mechanical stresses and minimal gradient of displacement between the proximal and distal bony segments were detected in the combined one-third anterior- and posterior-positioned double mini-plate T1 and T2 models. This suggests that the appropriate method to correct mandibular deformities in HSOO surgery is with use of double mini-plates positioned in the anterior one-third and posterior one-third between the bony segments of the ramus.
