Purpose : The purpose of this study is to use finite element analysis to predict the fatigue life of an implant system subjected to fatigue load by mastication (chewing force). The reliability and the stability of implant system can be defined in terms of the fatigue strength. Not only an implant is expensive but also it is almost impossible to correct after it is inserted. From a bio-engineering standpoint, the fatigue strength of the dental implant system must be evaluated by simulation (FEA). Material and Methods Finite element analysis and fatigue test are performed to estimate the fatigue strength of the implant system. Mesh of implant is generated with the actual shape and size. In this paper, the fatigue strength of implant system is estimated. U-fit (T. Strong, Korea, internal type). The stress field in implant is calculated by elastic-plastic finite element analysis. The equivalent fatigue stress, considering the contact and preload stretching of a screw by torque for tightening an abutment, is obtained by means of Sine's method. To evaluate the reliability of the calculated fatigue strength, fatigue test is performed. Results: A comparison of the calculated fatigue strength with experimental data showed the validity and accuracy of the proposed method. The initiation points of the fatigue failure in the implant system exist in the region of high equivalent fatigue stress values. Conclusion: The above proposed method for fatigue life estimation tan be applied to other configurations of the differently designed and improved implant. In order to prove reliability of prototype implant, fatigue test should be executed. The proposed method is economical for the prediction of fatigue life because fatigue testing, which is time consuming and precision-dependent, is not required.

Static and dynamic response of a mechanical system can be easily and readily obtained using an approximate method such as the Finite Element Method. However, FE solution cannot be totally trusted, since there are many numerical uncertainies inherent in an FE analysis. FE solution error can be estimated based on FE analysis result. Error estimator shows the quality of the FE solution, and helps FE users to enhance the accuracy of the FE solution.

본 연구에서는 인장시험 및 유한요소해석으로 재료의 파단 진변형률을 구하고, 궁극적으로 재료의 진응력-진변형률을 얻는 방법을 제안했다. 먼저 인장시험으로 얻은 응력-변형률 선도를 네킹점에서 선형 외삽해, 초기 진응력-진변형률 곡선을 설정하고, 이를 유한요소해석에 채택했다. 유한요소해석 후 Bridgman 계수 및 평판 수정계수들을 사용해, 단축 상태의 하중-진변형률 선도를 얻어 파단진변형률을 실험-해석적으로 구했다. 이 예측 파단진변형률의 실험치 대비 오차는 3% 미만이다. 이렇게 구한 파단 진변형률과 이에 상응하는 파단진응력을 구해 파단점을 결정한다. 이어 네킹점과 결정한 파단점을 연결하는 네킹 후 진응력-진변형률 선형선도를 확보하고, 이를 네킹 전의 실험선도와 결합해 최종적으로 재료의 진응력-진변형률 선도를 완성했다. 본 연구에서 제시한 실험-해석적 진응력-진변형률 곡선 획득 방법은 SS400 평판시편과 같이 파단면적 측정이 어려운 경우, 그 유용함이 배가된다.

The heat transfer phenomenon in the vicinity of the irradiated region of a focused laser beam of a DMT process greatly affects both the deposition characteristics of powders on a substrate and the properties of the deposited region. The goal of this paper is to investigate the heat transfer characteristics of a single bead deposition of Inconel 718 powders on S45C structural steel using a laser-aided direct metal tooling (DMT) process. The finite element analysis (FEA) model with a Gaussian volumetric heat flux is developed to simulate a three-dimensional transient heat transfer phenomenon. The cross-section of the bead for the FEA is estimated with an equivalent area method using experimental results. Through the comparison of the results of the experiments and those of the analysis, the effective beam radius of the bottom region of the volumetric heat flux and the efficiency of the heat flux model for different powers and travel speeds of the laser are predicted. From the results of the FEA, the influence of the power and the travel speed of the laser on the creation of a steady-state heat transfer region and the formation of the heat-affected zone (HAZ) in the substrate are investigated.

This work approaches the structural performance of masonry arches that have a small ratio between number of vossoirs and span length. The aim of this research is to compare and validate three different methods of analysis (funicular limit analysis F.L.A., kinematic limit analysis K.L.A. and plane stress Finite Element Analysis F.E.A.) with an experimental campaign. 18 failure tests with arches of different shapes and boundary conditions have been performed. The basic failure mechanism was the formation of enough hinges in the geometry. Nevertheless, in few cases, sliding between vossoirs also played a relevant influence. Moreover, few arches didn't reach the collapse. The FLA and KLA didn't find a solution close to the experimental values for some of the tests. The low number of vossoirs and joints become a drawback for an agreement between kinematic mechanism, equilibrium of forces and geometry constraints. FLA finds a lower bound whereas KLA finds an upper bound of the ultimate load of the arch. FEA is the most reliable and robust method and it can reproduce most of the mechanism and ultimate loads. However, special care is required in the definition of boundary conditions for FEA analysis. Scientific justification of the more suitability of numerical methods in front of classic methods at calculating arches with a few vossoirs is the main original contribution of the paper.

The rupture disk corrosion test (RDCT) method was recently developed to evaluate stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and was found to have great potential for the real-time detection of SCC initiation in a high temperature and pressure environment, simulating the primary water coolant of pressurized water reactors. However, it is difficult to directly measure the stress applied to a disk specimen, which is an essential factor in SCC initiation. In this work, finite element analysis (FEA) was performed using ABAQUS^TM to calculate the stress and deformation of a disk specimen. To determine the best mesh design for a thin disk specimen, hexahedron, hex-dominated, and tetrahedron models were used in FEA. All models revealed similar dome-shaped deformation behavior of the disk specimen. However, there was a considerable difference in stress distribution in the disk specimens. In the hex-dominated model, the applied stress was calculated to be the maximum at the dome center, whereas the stress was calculated to be the maximum at the dome edge in the hexahedron and tetrahedron models. From a comparison of the FEA results with deformation behavior and SCC location on the disk specimen after RDCT, the most proper FE model was found to be the tetrahedron model.

고속 및 대면적 인쇄를 위한 라인 프린팅 기술은 늘어난 헤드 길이만큼 헤드 내부로 잉크를 공급하는 유로를 확보해야 하는 구조적 취약점과 제조 과정에서 발생하는 잔류응력에 의한 피드홀 변형으로 인해 노즐층이 파손되거나 잉크가 누출되는 결함이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 견고하고 신뢰할 수 있으며 라인 프린팅 방식에 보다 적합한 열전사 방식의 잉크젯 프린트 헤드 형상을 제안하고자 한다. 먼저 실험을 통해 초기 라인 프린팅 헤드의 변형량을 측정한 후 이를 등가의 하중량으로 변환하였으며 FEA 해석을 통해 하중 추정 방법의 타당성을 검증하였다. 또한 헤드 크기를 증가시키지 않으면서 변형을 최소화할 수 있도록 기둥이나 지지벽으로 단위 노즐을 보강하거나 지지빔이나 건/습식각된 브릿지를 추가하여 내부 강성을 증가시킨 헤드 구조를 설계하였으며, 피드홀 변형이 최대 90% 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 제안된 형상 중 공정 편의성과 제작비용을 고려하여 건식각된 피드홀 브릿지 형태의 헤드를 선정하였으며 실제 제작을 통해 노즐층 변형이나 잉크 누출 없이 정상 작동하는 것을 확인하였다.
