This paper proposes an efficient 2D Finite Element Method(FEM) taking into account the end-ring of three phase squirrel-cage induction motors. The parameters of the squirrel-cage induction motor such as conductivity of secondary conductor have an effect on the characteristics of a motor. Especially, if the characteristic analysis is done without considering the end-ring, the good results can not be obtained. Therefore, we calculated a new resistivity of the secondary conductor including the end-ring's resistance to apply the 2D FEM. Then, the performances of the motors are analyzed by using the new resistivity of secondary conductor which contains the end-ring resistivity. The validity of the proposed method is verified by comparing the numerical results with experimental ones.

Purpose: A study analysed the stress distribution of abutment screw and supporting bone of fixture by the tightening torque force of the abutment screw within clinical treatment situation for the stability of the dental implant prosthesis. Methods: The finite element analysis was targeted to the mandibular molar crown model, and the implant was internal type 4.0 mm diameter, 10.0 mm length fixture and abutment screw and supporting bone. The occlusal surface was modeled in 4 cusps and loaded 100 N to the buccal cusps. The connection between the abutment and the fixture was achieved by combining three abutment tightening torque forces of 20, 25, and 30 Ncm. Results: The results showed that the maximum stress value of the supporting bone was found in the buccal cortical bone region of the fixture in all models. The von Mises stress value of each model showed 184.5 MPa at the 20 Ncm model, 195.3 MPa in the 25 Ncm model, and 216.5 MPa in the 30 Ncm model. The contact stress between the abutment and the abutment screw showed the stress value in the 20 Ncm model was 201.2 MPa, and the 245.5 MPa in the 25 Ncm model and 314.0 MPa in the 30 Ncm model. Conclusion: The increase of tightening force within the clinical range of the abutment screw of the implant dental prosthesis was found to have no problem with the stability of the supporting bone and the abutment screw.
