Offshore anchor piles are seafloor moorings that keep the position of floating structures during a harsh environment. These piles are usually subjected to a wide range of monotonic and cyclic lateral-to-oblique pullout forces. Centrifuge tests were carried out to study the behavior of offshore anchor piles under mooring forces in saturated dense sand. The tests were carried out at different loa...

the purpose of this study was to determine the influence of platform switching on stress distribution of two different implant systems using three-dimensional (3d) finite element models.six 3d finite element models were created to replicate two different implant systems with peri-implant bone tissue, in which six different implant-abutment configurations were represented: model xive-a: 3.8-mm-d...

PURPOSE Three-dimensional finite element analysis was conducted to evaluate and compare the stress distribution in the abutment and retention screw of implant-supported single crowns with platform switching and with a conventional platform under vertical and oblique loading. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two finite element models were created simulating an osseointegrated implant (4 × 10 mm, platform...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the stress distribution of 2-short implants (2SIs) installed in a severely atrophic maxillary molar site. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three different diameters of internal connection implants were modeled: narrow platform (NP), regular platform (RP), and wide platform (WP). The maxillary first molars were restored with one implant or two short implan...

In this study, experimental study on six RC columns with different slenderness ratios under axial rapid loading was conducted to investigate the axial compression behaviour of RC columns considering the effect of strain rates. The failure pattern of the specimens and the relations of axial loading versus the axial deformation were described. From the test results, the specimens under static and...

PURPOSE This study investigated the biomechanical behavior of screwed partial fixed prosthesis supported by implants with different diameters (2.5 mm; 3.3 mm and 3.75 mm) by using a photoelastic analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six photoelastic models were fabricated in PL-2 resin as single crowns or splinted 3-unit piece. Models were positioned in a circular polariscope and 100-N axial and ob...

To systematically measure and compare the stress distribution on the bone around an implant in the anterior maxilla using angled abutments by means of finite element analysis, three-dimensional finite element simplified patient-specific models and simplified models were created and analyzed. Systematically varied angled abutments were simulated, with angulation ranging from 0° to 60°. The mater...
