The Comparative Study

In the lingual orthodontic technique, there are two paradigms regarding the type of wire used. Regardless of the material or gauge, some orthodontists choose to use the straight wire and resin and bond it to the surface of the tooth; they call it compensations. Other orthodontists prefer to bend the wire, giving it a mushroom shape. There is no specific indication for the use of each type of wire, so orthodontists use them according to their criteria. The present study establishes the bases so that it is possible to find the indications for each type of wire. A clinical trial of a lingual orthodontic patient was used. To carry out the comparative study, a straight arch was placed in his right arch and a mushroom arch in the left arch. Using 3D imaging, a high-biofidelity biomodel of the patient’s mandible was generated, with which the FEM analysis was performed, which allowed comparing the reactions of the mandibular bone and appliances with the different arches. It was found that, on the side with the straight arch, there were greater deformations, and in the mushroom arch, there were greater stresses. With this, it is possible to find which clinical cases in each type of wire are indicated.

Coronal Incision

Coronal incision or bitemporal incision is useful for wider visualization in craniofacial surgery. In volume-expanding surgery such as fronto-orbital advancement, however, the incisional scar in the temporal scalp is often undesirably wide and conspicuous. We modified the coronal incision to avoid the widened scar. Further, we analyzed the resulting stress distribution using the finite element method (FEM) to determine whether or not the modification we adapted was effective. The modified method of coronal scalp incision that we used for craniofacial surgery is practical and technically easy. FEM analysis showed that our method was effective in terms of mechanical strength. The simulated surgical craft model is presented and is concluded to be beneficial for further analysis in craniofacial surgery.

This paper proposes a simpler and more accurate expression for estimation of leakage inductance in E core transformer, which is the most widely used transformer structure. The derived expression for leakage inductance accounts for the flux extending into air. The finite element method (FEM) analysis is made on the secondary shorted transformer to observe the H-field pattern. The results obtained from FEM analysis are used for approximating the field that is extending into air to derive an expression for leakage inductance. This expression is experimentally validated on prototype transformers of different core dimensions.

An alloy type A16060 was exposed to severe plastic deformation to study its reaction using the finite element method (FEM). To perform this, six different configurations were used in the design of the die’s channel for ECAP (equal channel angular pressing) to obtain nanostructure materials and to optimize the process. Thanks to simulation performed with FEM, it is possible to study the homogeneity in the deformation due to the variation of conditions affecting directly the material being processed using the ECAP technique, such as the friction coefficient, extrusion speed, and mainly the die’s channel geometry being utilized in the ECAP process. Due to the tensile strain area being located mainly in the upper part of the deformed test cylinder (plastic deformation area) which increases the fracture and cracking tendency preventing the processing through ECAP the die being utilized was modified to eliminate the tensile strain area favoring the appearance of compressive stress which reduces the cracking tendency and the fracture of the sample being processed. The FEM analysis demonstrated that the strain state changed significantly from tension to compression when the modified die was used, facilitating the processing of the piece by ECAP.

In the article design of a self-propelled vehicle for inspecting ventilation ducts and ceiling structures in buildings equipped with omni wheels was presented. Such vehicles are used in places that are hard to reach for people. The vehicle was designed using the vehicle control system – ARDUINO. For this system dedicated program was written, which is used to operate it. The vehicle is remotely controlled by radio waves. Its range is about 100 meters and the power supply is a 12 V battery. The vehicle operator has joysticks (controllers) modelled on those used in game controllers that are used for precise vehicle control. The vehicle is equipped with cameras that allow to view the image in real time. The omni wheels have also been tested for strength by the finite element method (FEM). Carried out FEM analysis as part of the work allowed to determine the strength of omni wheels on the acting forces during vehicle movement.

Preliminary Study

This article applies to the glue-free bonding of the components made of thermoplastics, specific techniques that use friction heat to plasticize and then join two surfaces. The featured technique is a friction (spin) welding process. Welding parameters were investigated and presented. Spin welding is known to consist of four phases. Analytical calculations were made for the first step. They are focused on the changeability of welding parameters depending on weld velocity. In the next part of this article, calculations including the finite element method were performed. This provided additional data and visualization of the process, which were not available in analytical calculations. Final results of both methods were compared. This made it possible to verify the correctness of theoretical calculations and exactness of FEM analysis.

This study deals with the stress analysis and the estimation of the sealing performance of the pipe flange connections combining a metallic gasket with an adhesive subjected to an internal pressure and a temperature change. Stress distributions at the interface between the adherends and the adhesive in the connections are analyzed by using the finite element method (FEM). From the numerical calculations, the following results are obtained: (1) the stress distributes uniformly at the interface except near the edges, (2) the stress increases as Young’s modulus of an adhesive decreases, (3) the stress becomes singular at the edges of the interfaces. In the experiments, the pipe flange connections consisting of dissimilar circular gaskets with an adhesive were manufactured, and the leakage tests of the connections were carried out by applying an internal pressure and a temperature change to the connections. From the experimental results, the following results were obtained: (1) the sealing performance increased as the width of a gasket decreased and the initial clamping stress increased, and (2) the sealing performance of the pipe flange connections subjected to a temperature change increased under a moderately high temperature.
