[ 1 ] - A NEW MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF CONTACT TREATMENT BETWEEN AN ORTHOTROPIC MATERIAL AND A RIGID INDENTER

Abstract: The boundary value problems involving contact are of the great importance in industries related to mechanical and materials engineering. These mixed problems are challenging since a priori unknown deformed surface of the material contacting a rigid indenter is to be determined as a part of the solution. Anisotropic solids represent an important class of engineering materials including...

[ 2 ] - A Mathematical Approach for Describing Time-Dependent Poisson’s Ratios of Periodontal Ligaments

Periodontal ligament is a thin layer of soft tissue that connects root of a tooth to the surrounding alveolar bone. These ligaments play an important role in initiating tooth movement when loads are applied to teeth with orthodontic appliances. The majority of such soft tissues exhibit as viscoelastic bodies or have a time-dependent behavior. Due to the viscoelastic behavior of the periodontal ...
