This article reviews the infrequently utilized treatment method of forced eruption and how it can serve as an alternative to the sacrifice of the natural root system. Forced eruption can preserve the natural root system and related periodontal architecture, resulting in years of additional service for the patient. It also can maintain adjacent tooth structure while retaining the option for futu...

Early treatment for Class II malocclusion was undertaken with the objective of correcting skeletal disproportion by altering the growth pattern. A case of Class II, Division 1 malocclusion in the mixed dentition was corrected to Class I molar relationship using orthopedic cervical headgear, with nonextraction edgewise therapy. Cephalometric analysis indicated a reduction in the maxillomandibula...

The work is devoted to researching a new method of hot direct-reverse extrusion hollow conical products from high-carbon steel and determinated parameters for technological design. considered makes it possible obtain in one step with different wall thickness height, while the upper part product can be greater than bottom part. dimensions initial workpiece are determined by modeling using finite...

Introduction Bar extrusion is a process in which a block of metal (billet) is forced to flow by compression through a tool (die) opening of a smaller crosssectional area than that of the original billet. There are two basic types of bar extrusion: direct and indirect. The most important and common method used is the direct extrusion (Lange 1988). Figure 1 shows the principle of direct bar extru...

Extruded profiles/sections are increasingly used in the transport industry for lightweight structures. In this paper, a wide thin-ribbed aluminium profile with asymmetric Z-shape, was manufactured by novel sideways extrusion process proposed authors. A comparative study conducted utilising direct/forward at same temperature and speed, which different mechanics, resulting microstructures mechani...

In this study, five microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) grades were physically characterized and their extrusion-spheronization behaviours were characterized in terms of water requirements and pellet shape profiles. It was found that the MCC grades differed significantly in the physical properties investigated. Physical properties of MCC were found to influence the water requirement for extrusion-...

The ZK61 alloy rods with different grain sizes and crystallographic texture were successfully fabricated by cyclic extrusion and compression (CEC). Their room-temperature tension & compression yield strength displayed a significant dependence on grain size and texture, essentially attributed to {10-12} twinning. The texture variations were characterized by the angle θ between the c-axis of ...

Micromechanic theory of fatigue crack initiation by Lin and his associates is reviewed. Intrusions and extrusions have been observed in fatigue specimens. An initial stress field favorable for the growth of extrusion or intrusion can be produced by arrays of dislocation dipoles as shown by Lin (1969). These dipoles cause an initial tensile strain giving an elongation which is called the static ...
