Finite element analysis (FEA) has been used extensively to predict the biomechanical performance of various dental implant designs as well as the effect of clinical factors on implant success. By understanding the basic theory, method, application, and limitations of FEA in implant dentistry, the clinician will be better equipped to interpret results of FEA studies and extrapolate these results...

PURPOSE This study aimed to calculate the flexion-extension axis (FEA) of the knee through in-vivo knee kinematics data, and then compare it with two major anatomical axes of the femoral condyles: the transepicondylar axis (TEA) defined by connecting the medial sulcus and lateral prominence, and the cylinder axis (CA) defined by connecting the centers of posterior condyles. METHODS The knee k...

The mechanical properties of Nitinol stents are normally evaluated experimentally due to complexities resulting from large deformations and material nonlinearity. Despite the difficulties associated with Finite Element Analysis (FEA), the success of the computational analysis in combination with experimental study leads to better understanding of stent performance. This paper presents compariso...

Power plant sites consist of numerous built up structures, each of which must be designed for positive margins of safety. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a common numerical method used for determining and improving the strength and dynamic performance of such structures. With an increasing need to find optimal power plant structural designs, the most efficient FEA workflows are critical. This ...

In the electronic chip package development process, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) modeling is widely used as a virtual prototyping technology to achieve good designs. Due to the complexity and variability in materials, geometric shapes, and connectivity configurations, etc. in a chip package, FEA modeling is a tedious and time-consuming activity. Typically finite element modeling takes hours or...

TRECVID 2015 [4] Multimedia Event Detection (MED) is an interesting and challenging task on the detection of high level complex events in Internet videos [1]. In this notebook paper, we present an overview of our system, focusing on combining multiple feature representations to improve the performance. Specifically, with the outputs of the multiple features, we adopt a simple yet e↵ective fusio...

Finite element analysis (FEA) has become a practical method of predicting stresses and deflection for loaded structures. FEA accurately identifies the load path, which can be difficult using classical analysis with complex structures. FEA shell element models are effective for predicting loads in weldments fabricated from plate, sheet, structural shapes and tube. The formulation used for a fini...

The foremost aim of presurgical epilepsy evaluation is the delineation of the seizure onset zone (SOZ). There is increasing evidence that fast epileptic activity (FEA, 14-250 Hz) occurring interictally, i.e. between seizures, is predominantly localized within the SOZ. Currently it is unknown, which frequency band of FEA performs best in identifying the SOZ, although prior studies suggest highes...

axial flux permanent magnet (afpm) machines are attractive candidates for electric vehicles (evs) applications due to their axial compact structure, high efficiency, high power and torque density. this paper presents general design characteristics of afpm machines. moreover, torque density of the machine which is selected as main objective function, is enhanced by using genetic algorithm (ga) a...

BACKGROUND Endometrial adenocarcinomas are a rare type of tumour in cats. Though different morphologies have been reported, the most frequent histological type of feline endometrial adenocarcinoma (FEA) is the papillary serous. Characterization of molecular markers expression in FEA may contribute to clarify the pathogenesis of these tumours and to assess the differences between normal endometr...
