This paper presents a comparative study between a three-dimensional and an axisymmetric finite-element analysis of a reactor pressure-vessel inlet nozzle subject to internal pressure. A quarter-symmetric section of the nozzle is modeled with a three-dimensional quadratic isoparametric finite element. This comparative study proves that the axisymmetric analysis is unconservative if based upon common axisymmetric modeling techniques. This inadequacy, for the PWR vessel inlet nozzle studied herein, can be offset by a modification of the modeling techniques, i.e., if the value of the radius of the equivalent spherical vessel is taken as 3.2 instead of, say, 2. The results of the three-dimensional finite-element analysis are also compared with those of a photo-elastic stress analysis and with the stress indices indicated by the ASME Section III Code. These additional comparisons, based upon a continuous distribution of hoop and tangential stress indices in both the transverse and longitudinal planes, shows good agreement between the three-dimensional finite-element and photoelastic analyses. The ASME Section III stress indices are found to be relatively conservative.

Abstract The effects of variations in stiffness and geometry on the nonuniformity of tires are investigated by using the finite element analysis. In order to evaluate tire uniformity, a three-dimensional finite element model of the tire with imperfections is developed. This paper considers how imperfections, such as variations in stiffness or geometry and run-out, contribute to detrimental effects on tire nonuniformity. It is found that the radial force variation of a tire with imperfections depends strongly on the geometrical variations of the tire.

The effect of a restored machined hybrid dental ceramic crown–tooth complex is not well understood. This study was conducted to determine the effect of the stress state of the machined hybrid dental ceramic crown using three-dimensional finite element analysis. Human premolars were prepared to receive full coverage crowns and restored with machined hybrid dental ceramic crowns using the resin cement. Then, the teeth were digitized using micro-computed tomography and the teeth were scanned with an optical intraoral scanner using an intraoral scanner. Three-dimensional digital models were generated using an interactive image processing software for the restored tooth complex. The generated models were imported into a finite element analysis software with all degrees of freedom concentrated on the outer surface of the root of the crown–tooth complex. To simulate average occlusal load subjected on a premolar a total load of 300 N was applied, 150 N at a buccal incline of the palatal cusp, and palatal incline of the buccal cusp. The von Mises stresses were calculated for the crown–tooth complex under simulated load application was determined. Three-dimensional finite element analysis showed that the stress distribution was more in the dentine and least in the cement. For the cement layer, the stresses were more concentrated on the buccal cusp tip. In dentine, stress was more on the cusp tips and coronal 1/3 of the root surface. The conventional crown preparation is a suitable option for machined polymer crowns with less stress distribution within the crown–tooth complex and can be a good aesthetic replacement in the posterior region. Enamic crowns are a good viable option in the posterior region.
