background and aim of study: long span is seen in many clinical situations, treatment planning options of these cases are difficult and may require: fpd, rpd or isp. each option has its own disadvantages: mechanical, patient relief and cost respectively. this article will evaluate the stress distribution of another treatment option which is adding a single supporting implant to the fpd by using...

in this paper, first design and analysis history of full metal cng cylinders for vehicle are investigated. next with respect to the cng worldwide standards, a full metal type cylinder is designed and analysed. then the numerical analysis results and practical results are compared, and the correctness of the investigation is verified. in the end, the most suitable alloy with respect to the dimen...

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...

This paper provides an incremental layerwise finite element formulation for the viscoelastic analysis of multilayered pavements.  The constitutive behavior of asphalt concrete is represented by the Prony series. Layerwise finite element has been shown to provide an efficient and accurate tool for the numerical simulation of laminated structures. Most of the previous research on numerical simula...

In this study, "Buckling Limit of Strain" (B.L.S.) is introduced as one of the most important limiting factors in cold roll forming process. B.L.S. is calculated by the finite element procedure. Then for two particular processes with existing analysis and experimental results, B.L.S. has been determined and evaluated. LUSAS 12.3 is used for finite element analysis. The results show that when bu...

this paper presents the fatigue life behavior of hub using random vibration based on road roughness. the main objectives of this study are to predict the fatigue life and to identify the critical location for evaluating fatigue damage. asphalt road surface profiles obtained in favorable circumstances by topography cameras and in according road classification iso 2631-1estimate road roughness su...

Detailed investigation on biomechanics of a complex structure such as the human lumbar spine requires the use of advanced computer-based technique for both the geometrical reconstruction and the stress analysis. In the present study, the computer-assisted tomography (CAT) and finite element method (FEM) are merged to perform detailed three dimensional nonlinear analysis of the human ligamentous...
