Energy Failure

Of the numerous methods developed to predict failure of isotropic materials exposed to a three-dimensional state of stress, experimental studies tend to confirm the validity of the distortional energy theory. To date no rational basis of predicting inelastic action in an orthotropic material exposed to principle stresses coincident with the material axes has been proposed. This study assumes that distortion energy may be used to predict failure of orthotropic materials, and a usable algebraic method of predicting failure is developed.

AbstractPeriodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease leading to progressive connective tissue degradation and loss of the tooth-supporting bone. Clinical and experimental studies suggest that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is involved in the dysregulated fibroblast–epithelial cell interactions in periodontitis. The aim of this study was to explore effects of HGF to impact fibroblast-induced collagen degradation. A patient-derived experimental cell culture model of periodontitis was applied. Primary human epithelial cells and fibroblasts isolated from periodontitis-affected gingiva were co-cultured in a three-dimensional collagen gel. The effects of HGF neutralizing antibody on collagen gel degradation were tested and transcriptome analyses were performed. HGF neutralizing antibody attenuated collagen degradation and elicited expression changes of genes related to extracellular matrix (ECM) and cell adhesion, indicating that HGF signaling inhibition leads to extensive impact on cell–cell and cell–ECM interactions. Our study highlights a potential role of HGF in periodontitis. Antagonizing HGF signaling by a neutralizing antibody may represent a novel approach for periodontitis treatment.

Damage Criteria

Hydropiercing is an efficient way of piercing holes in mass produced hydroformed parts with complex geometries. By driving piercing punches radially into a hydroformed and fully pressurized tube, holes will be pierced and extruded into the tube-wall. Recent experimental studies have shown that the formability of advanced high strength steel (AHSS) tubes can be increased with the application of internal pressure. In this study, three-dimensional finite element simulations of a tube hydropiercing process of a dual phase steel (DP600) were performed in LS-DYNA, using phenomenological, micromechanical and combined damage criteria. Damage was included in the numerical analysis by applying constant equivalent plastic strain (CEPS), the Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN), and the Extended GTN (GTN+JC) model. In order to calibrate the parameters in each model, a specialized hole-piercing fixture was designed and piercing tests were carried out on non-pressurized tube specimens. Of the various ductile fracture criteria, the results predicted with the GTN+JC model, such as the punch load-displacement, the roll-over depth, and the quality of the clearance zone correlated the best with the experimental data.
