By using finite element analysis, we proposed an applicable finite element method of laser shock peening (LSP) and discussed various parameters, such as solution time, stability limit, dynamic yield stress, peak pressure, pressure pulse duration, laser spot size, and multiple LSP. The effects of parameters related to the finite element simulation of the LSP process on the residual stresses of 3...

This paper studies the post-local buckling behaviour of steel plates in concrete-filled thin-walled steel tubular columns under biaxial loading using the finite element method. Geometric and material nonlinear finite element analyses are undertaken to investigate the post-local buckling strengths of imperfect steel plates under stress gradients. Based on the results obtained from the nonlinear ...

introduction: excessive temperature rise during drilling of the mandible for dental implant placement might damage adjacent osseous tissues. various factors affect temperature rise, including the geometrical parameters of surgical drills, one of which is the drill bit head angle. the aim of this research was to determine suitable drill bit head angle to induce minimum temperature rise during ma...

introduction: with the rapid increase in use of lasers in medical treatments, it is important to understand the mechanisms of heat transfer in biological tissues in order to minimize damage to the tissues resulting from extra heat applied. the aim of this study is to investigate the temperature distribution in living biological tissues when laser irradiation is used in a treatment. methods:  in...

conclusions the most relevant finding was that hook pinning in pauwels type iii fracture may result in delayed :union: or non:union: due to significantly increased stress of a traction force at the fracture site that works to displace the fracture. however, in a pauwels type i fracture, increased compression stress contributes to stabilize it. surgeons are recommended not to treat pauwels type ...

background and aims. all-on-four technique involves the use of tilted implants to allow for shorter cantilevers. this finite element analysis aimed at investigating the amount and distribution of stress in maxillary bone surrounding the implants with all-on-four vs. frequently used method with six implants technique using different numbers and inclination angles. materials and methods. a 3d ede...

objective: intrusion as a type of tooth movement is managed by different mechanotherapies during various treatment stages. the morphology of the apical third of the teeth to be intruded plays an important role in the risk of root resorption due to the raise of stresses. the main goal of this study was to compare various types of apical third of the teeth while loaded by an intrusive force. mate...

the main goal of this study was to evaluate differences in stress distribution relevant to the number of implants under an anterior bridge when combined with a removable partial denture in the posterior region.four three-dimensional finite element models (3d fem) were designed from a mandible containing an implant-supported bridge extending between canines, and a bilateral distal extension remo...

this work is conducted to obtain mechanical properties of microtubule. for this aim, interaction energy in alpha-beta, beta-alpha, alpha-alpha, and beta-beta dimers was calculated using the molecular dynamic simulation. force-distance diagrams for these dimers were obtained using the relation between potential energy and force. afterwards, instead of each tubulin, one sphere with 55 kda weight ...

let $g$ be a finite group‎. ‎we denote by $psi(g)$ the integer $sum_{gin g}o(g)$‎, ‎where $o(g)$ denotes the order of $g in g$‎. ‎here we show that‎ ‎$psi(a_5)< psi(g)$ for every non-simple group $g$ of order $60$‎, ‎where $a_5$ is the alternating group of degree $5$‎. ‎also we prove that $psi(psl(2,7))
