Cortical and Trabecular Bone Stress Assessment during Periodontal Breakdown–A Comparative Finite Element Analysis of Multiple Failure Criteria

Evaluation of Laser-Lok microgrooves on the stress distribution of crestal bone by Finite Element Analysis

Cortical and Trabecular Bone

During the normal growth and development of man and animals the bones grow in length and width and undergo progressive changes in their architecture, a process known as maturation. These normal processes are governed by numerous and complex forces but one of them, the plane of nutrition during the growing period, is of major importance. Undernourished children are small in stature and have bone...

Failure Prediction during uniaxial Superplastic Tension using Finite Element Method

Superplastic materials show a very high ductility. This is due to both peculiar process conditions and material intrinsic characteristics. However, a number of superplastic materials are subjected to cavitation during superplastic deformation. Evidently, extensive cavitation imposes significant limitations on their commercial application. The deformation and failure of superplastic sheet metals...

Finite Element Analysis of Progressive Degradation versus Failure Stress Criteria on Composite Damage Mechanics

Indirect determination of trabecular bone effective tissue failure properties using micro-finite element simulations.

Trabecular bone strength is marked not only by the onset of local yielding, but also by post-yield behavior. To study and predict trabecular bone elastic and yield properties, micro-finite element (micro-FE) models were successfully applied. However, trabecular bone strength predictions require micro-FE models incorporating post-yield behavior of trabecular bone tissue. Due to experimental diff...
