Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the three-dimensional (3D) position of the center of resistance of 4 mandibular anterior teeth, 6 mandibular anterior teeth, and the complete mandibular dentition by using 3D finite-element analysis. Methods: Finite-element models included the complete mandibular dentition, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone. The crowns of teeth in each group were fixed with buccal and lingual arch wires and lingual splint wires to minimize individual tooth movement and to evenly disperse the forces onto the teeth. Each group of teeth was subdivided into 0.5-mm intervals horizontally and vertically, and a force of 200 g was applied on each group. The center of resistance was defined as the point where the applied force induced parallel movement. Results: The center of resistance of the 4 mandibular anterior teeth group was 13.0 mm apical and 6.0 mm posterior, that of the 6 mandibular anterior teeth group was 13.5 mm apical and 8.5 mm posterior, and that of the complete mandibular dentition group was 13.5 mm apical and 25.0 mm posterior to the incisal edge of the mandibular central incisors. Conclusions: Finite-element analysis was useful in determining the 3D position of the center of resistance of the 4 mandibular anterior teeth group, 6 mandibular anterior teeth group, and complete mandibular dentition group.

연구 목적: 이 연구의 목적은 삼차원 유한요소 분석법을 이용하여 무치악 구개결손 환자에 사용되는 폐쇄장치의 응력 및 변위를 측정하고 이를 총의치 모형과 비교하는 것이다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 무치악 환자의 컴퓨터단층촬영 영상을 기반으로 구개 중앙에 상악절제술 후 발생한 결손부를 가지는 무치악 상악모형과, 무치악 3차원 유한요소 모형을 제작하였다. 각각의 모형에 적합한 총의치와 폐쇄장치를 제작하고 좌측 소구치와 구치 부위에 200 N의 수직하중을 가하였다. 3차원 유한요소 분석법을 이용하여 두 모형에서 보철물과 잔존 상악골조직의 von Mises 응력값과 변위량을 측정하였다. 결과: 두 모형 모두 하중을 가한 쪽의 피질골에서 최대 von Mises 응력 값이 관찰되었다. 총의치 모형의 피질골에서 가장 높은 값은 2.73 MPa 이었으며 폐쇄장치 모형의 피질골에서 가장 높은 값은 2.69 MPa 이었다. 보철물의 조직면에서도 높은 응력값이 관찰되었다. 최대 변위량은 폐쇄장치에서 총의치보다 더 높은 값이 관찰되었다. 결론: 폐쇄장치는 총의치에 비해 교합력 전달 면에서 불리했고, 더 큰 변위량이 관찰되어 상악절제술을 받은 무치악 환자의 보철치료 시 해부학적 지식에 바탕을 둔 정확한 인상채득과 보철치료 원칙의 적용이 고려되어야 한다.

As residual ridge resorption occurs, complete dentures tend to become loose. Denture relining and rebasing are an essential element for improving a denture's stability and prevention side effect such as sore spot, epulis fissuratum. This paper focuses about health insurance is available for maintenance of complete denture and, methods of relining or rebasing.

In this article, we investigate several aspects of (R, S)-hyper bi-modules and describe some their properties. The concepts of fundamental relation, completes part and complete closure are studied regarding to (R, S)-hyper bi-modules. In particular, we show that any complete (R, S)-hyper bi-module has at least an identity and any element has an inverse. Finally, we obtain a few results related to the heart of (R, S)-hyper bi-modules.

Based on injectivity, we introduce some definitions in the category NFHG of normal fuzzy hypergroups. And we show that a complete normal fuzzy hypergroup is a weakly injective object in NFHG. Also we investigate weak injectivity in the comma category NFHG/K.

The objective of preventive dentistry is the maintenance of a healthy dentition for the life of a patient. Unfortunately, if an individual has not received the benefit of a comprehensive program of preventive dentistry and has finally reached the edentulous state, as a consequence, he receives a set of complete denture. Dentures are mechanical devices and subject to the principles of mechanics. In some cases, the general health and nutritional status of the patient are felt to be the causative factors. But, the most important thing in residual ridge resorption is felt to be caused by the unequal distribution of functional forces. This study was to analyze mandibular stresses of complete denture occlusion by three dimensional finite element method. The results were as follows ; 1. As deformation and stress distribution of the complete denture of the mandible were concentrated on the upper lingual side of the mandible, alveolar ridge resorption of the mandible occurred from lingual side to labio-buccal side. 2. Analyzing by three dimensional F. E. M., the mandible is a very effective form for tolerating stress and deformation biomechanically. 3. According to the concentration of stress distibution in the upper buccal side of the lower posteriors, buccal shelf area must be a primary stress bearing area in the lower complete denture. 4. Lower complete denture moved horizontally to the balancing side under lateral occlusal force. 5. Bilateral balanced occlusion should be constructed in the complete denture for denture stability, especially in the protrusive movement. 6. Physical property of the denture base material was as important for stress distribution in the denture base as or even more than that in the mandible. 7. Impression technique is very important because of most of stress was concentrated between them due to close contact of the mandible and the denture base.

In clinical use, coronary stents keep coronary arteries open after expansion with a balloon catheter and prevent the expanded artery from collapsing. Coronary stents are positioned in artery by catheter with a balloon along a guide wire to the lesion site. Flexibility is one of important ability for delivery. In this paper, Palmaz-Schatz stent and Tenax complete stent were selected because these are the most representative of tubular stents. Finite element analyses for the stent system were performed using ABAQUS/Standard code. The present study estimated the flexibility of coronary stents due to loading directions. Moreover the present paper suggests a numerical method to test the flexibility of stents. In conclusion this paper shows how the finite element analysis can be effectively organized in the stent development.

This paper presents some of the efforts by the authors towards numerical prediction of springing of ships. A time-domain Higher Order Boundary Element Method (HOBEM) based on cubic shape function is first presented to solve a complete second-order problem in terms of wave steepness and ship motions in a consistent manner. In order to avoid high order derivatives on the body surfaces, e.g. mj-terms, a new formulation of the Boundary Value Problem in a body-fixed coordinate system has been proposed instead of traditional formulation in inertial coordinate system. The local steady flow effects on the unsteady waves are taken into account. Double-body flow is used as the basis flow which is an appropriate approximation for ships with moderate forward speed. This numerical model was used to estimate the complete second order wave excitation of springing of a displacement ship at constant forward speeds.

In this paper, a simple and accurate finite element model coupled to quasi-brittle damage law able to describe the multiple cracks initiation and their progressive propagation is developed in order to predict the complete force-displacement curve and the fracture pattern of human proximal femur under quasi-static load. The motivation of this work was to propose a simple and practical FE model with a good compromise between complexity and accuracy of the simulation considering a limited number of model parameters that can predict proximal femur fracture more accurately and physically than the fracture criteria based models. Different damage laws for cortical and trabecular bone are proposed based on experimental results to describe the inelastic damage accumulation under the excessive load. When the damage parameter reaches its critical value inside an element of the mesh, its stiffness matrix is set to zero leading to the redistribution of the stress state in the vicinity of the fractured zone (crack initiation). Once a crack is initiated, the propagation direction is simulated by the propagation of the broken elements of the mesh. To illustrate the potential of the proposed approach, the left femur of a male (age 61) previously investigated by Keyak and Falkinstein, 2003 (Model B: male, age 61) was simulated till complete fracture under one-legged stance quasi-static load. The proposed finite element model leads to more realistic and precise results concerning the shape of the force-displacement curve (yielding and fracturing) and the profile of the fractured edge.

완전접촉 문제를 이론적으로 해석하기 위해서 점근해법이 많이 사용된다. 점근해로서의 응력장은 특이항 만으로 구성되므로 접촉경계로부터 멀어질수록 정확도가 감소한다. 이에 반해 유한요소해석 방법은 요소크기의 제한으로 인해 완전접촉 문제에서의 응력특이성을 엄밀히 표현할 수 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이론적 해법을 보조하고 또 그와 비교하기 위해 응착접촉 상태에 있는 완전접촉 문제를 이론적으로 해석한 후, 모아레 실험 및 유한요소해석 방법으로 접촉부 부근의 응력장을 분석하였다. 실험은 알루미늄과 구리 합금을 접촉각 $120^{\circ}$, $135^{\circ}C$로 가공하여 수행하였으며 모아레 무늬로부터 얻은 변위장과 유한요소해석을 수행한 결과와 비교하였다. 이로부터 타당성이 확보된 수치적 방법을 이용하여 실험조건에서의 일반화 응력확대계수와 접촉부 응력장을 구하여 이론 해와 비교하였으며, 접촉경계로부터 멀어질 때 나타나는 이론과 수치 해의 차이를 분석하였다.
