In geometric inverse problems, it is assumed that some parts of domain boundaries are not accessible and geometric shape and dimensions of these parts cannot be measured directly. The aim of inverse geometry problems is to approximate the unknown boundary shape by conducting some experimental measurements on accessible surfaces. In the present paper, the artificial neural network is used to sol...

In this study, shear and peel stress distributions in the viscoelastic adhesive layer of a single-lap joint (SLJ) with functionally graded (FG) adherends are investigated. The study focuses on the effect of different adherend profiles and material composition on the time-dependent stress concentration/distribution in balanced and unbalanced SLJs. For this purpose, the Reddy model is applied to ...

several appliances have been used for palatal expansion for treatment of posterior cross bite. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the stress induced in the apical and crestal alveolar bone and the pattern of tooth displacement following expansion via removable expansion plates or fixed-banded palatal expander using the finite element method (fem) analysis.two 3d fem models were designed ...

the effect of boundary conditions on the solution of the inverse problem of identifying the geometry and location of a cavity inside an elastic solid body using displacement measurements obtained from a tension test is investigated. the boundary elements method (bem) coupled with the genetic algorithm (ga) and the conjugate gradient method (cgm) are implemented in this identification problem. a...
