Using finite element method (FEM), this study sought to investigate how the thickness and Young's modulus of cortical bone influenced stress distribution in bone surrounding a dental implant. The finite element implant-bone model consisted of a titanium abutment, a titanium fixture, a gold alloy retaining screw, cancellous bone, and cortical bone. The results showed that von Mises equivalent st...

determination of critical points on hot stress-strain curve of metals is crucial in thermo-mechanical processes design. in this investigation a mathematical modeling is given to illustrate the behavior of metal during hot deformation processes such as hot rolling. the critical strain for the onset of dynamic recrystallization has been obtained as a function of strain at the maximum stress. in a...

in order to investigate of quality and quantity yield and growing degree day (gdd) of plantago ovata and p. psyllium related to water stress and density, two experiments were conducted at the agriculture research field, tehran university, karaj, in april 2005 and 2006. the experiments were designed in factorial experiments based in randomized completely block (rcb) with three replication in whi...

emergence of crops is affected by environmental factors such as soil water, salinity and sowing and seed quality. the present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of seed aging (seed quality) on emergence of wheat under optimum (control) and stressful conditions including salinity (2 levels), drought (2 levels) and deep sowing depth (physical stress). seeds (cv. ‘zagros’) were kept at a h...

This article has studied the effect of ratio of stiffness and thickness between piezoelectric actuators and host plat has been explored on optimal pattern for placement of piezoelectric work pieces around a hole in thin isotropic plate under static loading to reduce stress concentration. The piezoelectric actuators reduce directly or indirectly the stress concentration by applying positive and ...

The linear viscoelastic response of an ordered dense emulsion is explored by numerical simulation. At concentrations below maximum packing, the stress relaxation is dominated by a single time scale associated with lubrication, which diverges at maximum packing. For concentrations above maximum packing, the stress relaxation is dominated by fast time scales of the order of the drop relaxation ti...

OBJECTIVE Finite element analysis was used to compare preoperative and postoperative stress distribution of a bone healing model of femur fracture, to identify whether broken ends of fractured bone would break or not after fixation dislodgement one year after intramedullary nailing. Method s: Using fast, personalized imaging, bone healing models of femur fracture were constructed based on data ...
