Introduction. The mathematical model of the abutment tooth is the starting point of the finite element analysis of stress and deformation of dental structures. The simplest and easiest way is to form a model according to the literature data of dimensions and morphological characteristics of teeth. Our method is based on forming 3D models using standard geometrical forms (objects) in programmes for solid modeling. Objective. Forming the mathematical model of abutment of the second upper premolar for finite element analysis of stress and deformation of dental structures. Methods. The abutment tooth has a form of a complex geometric object. It is suitable for modeling in programs for solid modeling SolidWorks. After analyzing the literature data about the morphological characteristics of teeth, we started the modeling dividing the tooth (complex geometric body) into simple geometric bodies (cylinder, cone, pyramid,...). Connecting simple geometric bodies together or substricting bodies from the basic body, we formed complex geometric body, tooth. The model is then transferred into Abaqus, a computational programme for finite element analysis. Transferring the data was done by standard file format for transferring 3D models ACIS SAT. Results. Using the programme for solid modeling SolidWorks, we developed three models of abutment of the second maxillary premolar: the model of the intact abutment, the model of the endodontically treated tooth with two remaining cavity walls and the model of the endodontically treated tooth with two remaining walls and inserted post. Conclusion Mathematical models of the abutment made according to the literature data are very similar with the real abutment and the simplifications are minimal. These models enable calculations of stress and deformation of the dental structures. The finite element analysis provides useful information in understanding biomechanical problems and gives guidance for clinical research.

The motor rotation assembly of machine tools is mainly composed of spindle, rotor and bearings, it is to some extent the most important component, and its dynamic characteristics directly affect the machining accuracy and efficiency. Although the finite element method is effective to solve such dynamic problem, the conventional method generally ignores the influence of assembly tolerance between the spindle and the rotor .This probably would lead to a larger error result. A new method is described to evaluate the results obtained from finite element analysis .Firstly, a finite element mathematical model of motor rotation assembly is established, and then the model is tested by means of modal experiment, finally, the mathematical model results calculated by MATLAB software is compared with that of modal experiment, the results show that this modeling method is accurate and efficient. Furthermore, rotors of different inner diameters are mounted onto the spindle of same size, and then modal experiment and a finite element analysis are applied to obtain the dynamic characteristics of the motor rotation assembly under different assembly tolerances. This research can provide some reference values for the tolerance design of the motor rotation assembly.

The paper presents the model and design of a flexure-based precise 4 DOF degree of freedom positioning system for micro-positioning uses. The positioning system is featured with monolithic architecture, flexure-based joints and ultra-fine adjustment screws. The mathematical model for the output displacements of the positioning system has been verified by finite element analysis (FEA).

According to the principles of engagement and the mathematical model of non-circular gear tooth profile, the tooth profile of non-circular gear is draw. Then the three-dimensional model of the non-circular gear is created in Pro/E three-dimensional software to provide the basis for a non-circular gear motion analysis, dynamic analysis and finite element analysis.

A mathematical model that describes a variety of Bourdon tube geometries has been used for the three-dimensional analysis of Bourdon tubes. The variation of the stresses and tip deflections with respect to the variables used in the mathematical model are then presented as an aid in the design and analysis of the Bourdon tube. The finite element program represents a user-orientated package for calculation of tip deflections and stresses. Stresses and deflections are compared to both strain gage data and instrumented tip deflections as well as published data to establish the credibility of both the model and computer program.

Abstract A simple (quadratic) mathematical model for predicting the deflection path of both non-tapered and continuously tapered cantilever beams loaded with a vertical end force is presented. It is based on the proposition that the path is a function of the ratio of the endpoints’ moments of inertia. The model is valid for both small and large (the tip makes a 70 degree angle with the horizontal) deflections. This was verified through physical testing, comparison to solution of the Bernoulli-Euler equation, and results obtained through nonlinear finite element analysis. Predicted endpoint deflections were found to be accurate within 1.8% of the actual deflection path for moment of inertia ratios varying from 1:1 to 1000:1.

Nunmerical analysis method was used to analyze multi-chip tapered leaf spring with the same area under vertical loads, in which the brick element of twenty nodes was used to model the spring leaves and the solid modeling using in ansys was modeled in 3D softwar. Each piece of nodes were coupled in order to simulate the leaf spring assembly process. The results of six modes analysis and static analysis could be the research basis for the further study of leaf spring.
