UNCONVENTIONAL MATERIAL PART FEM ANALYSIS

Unconventional dentistry: Part IV. Unconventional dental practices and products.

This is the fourth in a series of 5 articles providing a contemporary overview and introduction to unconventional dentistry (UD) and its correlation to unconventional medicine (UM). Several common UD and UM practices are described to familiarize practitioners with a variety of theories, practices, products and treatments that specifically apply to dentistry. This brief review is not intended as...

Unconventional dentistry: Part II. Practitioners and patients.

This is the second in a series of five articles providing a contemporary overview and introduction to unconventional dentistry (UD) and its correlation with unconventional medicine (UM). Dentists may provide unconventional services and use or prescribe unconventional products because of personal beliefs, boredom with conventional practice, lack of understanding of the scientific process or fina...

High Velocity Impact Analysis on “Composite Material Block” Using FEM Approach

The failure of an AL6061-T6 and Kevlar-29 composite plate under high-velocity impact from an S-S (structural Steel) projectile tool was investigated using the nonlinear explicit finite element software, ANSYS AUTODYAN. Two velocity ranges 350 m/s and 700 m/s were used for FEM simulation. It was analyzed that AL6061-T6 is more resistant than KELVAR 29 at both ranges but Kevlar 29 is light in wei...

Chlorine Gas: An Evolving Hazardous Material Threat and Unconventional Weapon

Chlorine gas represents a hazardous material threat from industrial accidents and as a terrorist weapon. This review will summarize recent events involving chlorine disasters and its use by terrorists, discuss pre-hospital considerations and suggest strategies for the initial management for acute chlorine exposure events.
