abstract

several appliances have been used for palatal expansion for treatment of posterior cross bite. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the stress induced in the apical and crestal alveolar bone and the pattern of tooth displacement following expansion via removable expansion plates or fixed-banded palatal expander using the finite element method (fem) analysis.two 3d fem models were designed from a mesio-distal slice of the maxilla containing the upper first molars, their periodontium and alveolar bone. two palatal expanders (removable and fixed) were modeled. the models were designed in solidworks 2006 and then transferred to ansys workbench. the appliance halves were displaced 0.1 mm laterally. the von mises stress in the apical, crestal, and pdl areas and also the vertical displacement of the cusps (palatal and buccal) was were evaluated.the total pdl stress was 0.40003 mpa in the removable appliance (ra) model and 4.88e-2 mpa in the fixed appliance (fa) model and the apical stress was 9.9e-2 and 1.17e-2 mpa, respectively. the crestal stress was 2.99e-1 mpa in ra and 7.62e-2 mpa in the fa. the stress in the cortical bone crest was 0.30327 and 7.9244e-2 mpa for ra and fa, respectively and 3.7271 and 7.4373e-2 mpa in crestal area of spongy bone, respectively. the vertical displacement of the buccal cusp and palatal cusp was 1.64e-2 and 5.90e-2 mm in ra and 1.05e-4 and 1.7e-4 mm in fa, respectively.the overall stress as well as apical and crestal stress in periodontium of anchor teeth was higher in ra than fa; ra elicited higher stress in both cortical and spongy bone. the vertical displacement of molar cusps was more in removable than fixed palatal expander model.

buckling of viscoelastic composite plates using the finite strip method

در سال های اخیر، تقاضای استفاده از تئوری خطی ویسکوالاستیسیته بیشتر شده است. با افزایش استفاده از کامپوزیت های پیشرفته در صنایع هوایی و همچنین استفاده روزافزون از مواد پلیمری، اهمیت روش های دقیق طراحی و تحلیل چنین ساختارهایی بیشتر شده است. این مواد جدید از خودشان رفتارهای مکانیکی ارائه می دهند که با تئوری های الاستیسیته و ویسکوزیته، نمی توان آن ها را توصیف کرد. این مواد، خواص ویسکوالاستیک دارند....

Modified Fixed Grid Finite Element Method to Solve 3D Elasticity Problems of Functionally Graded Materials

In the present paper, applicability of the modified fixed grid finite element method in solution of three dimensional elasticity problems of functionally graded materials is investigated. In the non-boundary-fitted meshes, the elements are not conforming to the domain boundaries and the boundary nodes which are used in the traditional finite element method for the application of boundary condit...

Modified Fixed Grid Finite Element Method in the Analysis of 2D Linear Elastic Problems

In this paper, a modification on the fixed grid finite element method is presented and used in the solution of 2D linear elastic problems. This method uses non-boundary-fitted meshes for the numerical solution of partial differential equations. Special techniques are required to apply boundary conditions on the intersection of domain boundaries and non-boundary-fitted elements. Hence, a new met...

Seepage Analysis through Rockfill Dams by Finite Element Method in a Fixed Gird

In this paper, Forchheimer equation is used as the constitutive equation for flow through rockfill, and the non-linear two-dimensional governing equation with free surface is solved by a new finite element method in a fixed grid. The model is verified by applying it to different flow conditions. The first scenario, which is assumed to be one-dimensional with analytical solution available for it...
