    Finite Element Analysis of the Stress Distribution Associated With Different Implant Designs for Different Bone Densities
    (Wiley, 2022-06-06) Kurtulus, Ikbal Leblebicioglu; Kilic, Kerem; Bal, Burak; Kilavuz, Ahmet; Leblebicioğlu Kurtuluş, Ikbal
    Purpose The main objective of this study was to investigate the influence of implant design, bone type, and abutment angulation on stress distribution around dental implants. Materials and methods Two implant designs with different thread designs, but with the same length and brand were used. The three-dimensional geometry of the bone was simulated with four different bone types, for two different abutment angulations. A 30 degrees oblique load of 200 N was applied to the implant abutments. Maximum principal stress and minimum principal stresses were obtained for bone and Von misses stresses were obtained for dental implants. Results The distribution of the load was concentrated at the coronal portion of the bone and implants. The stress distributions to the D4 type bone were higher for implant models. Increased bone density and increased cortical bone thickness cause less stress on bone and implants. All implants showed a good distribution of forces for non-axial loads, with higher stresses concentrated at the crestal region of the bone-implant interface. In implant types using straight abutments there was a decrease in stress as the bone density decreased. The change in the abutment angle also caused an increase in stress. Conclusions The use of different implant threads and angled abutments affects the stress on the surrounding bone and implant. In addition, it was observed that a decrease in density in trabecular bone and a decrease in cortical bone thickness increased stress.

    FEA Based Fast Topology Optimization Method for Switched Reluctance Machines
    (Springer, 2022-01-04) Tekgun, Didem; Tekgun, Burak; Alan, Irfan
    In this paper, a finite element analysis (FEA) based fast optimization method to optimize a lightweight in-wheel switched reluctance machine is presented. This method speeds up the switched reluctance machine optimization procedure by running the FEA simulations with single-phase constant current excitations for half electrical cycle and estimating the machine performance metrics using the gathered FEA data. Hence, the machine`s dynamic performance estimation process takes shorter for each design candidate. The optimization algorithm employs designs of experiments (DOE), response surface (RS) analysis method, and differential evolution algorithm (DE). Here, the DOE method is used to reduce the search space by narrowing down the upper and lower boundaries of each design variable based on the RS analysis. Although this process does not guarantee getting the Pareto front, it places the search space close to the actual one. Hence, the multi-objective DE optimization finds the Pareto optimal solution set without requiring a large number of iterations as well as a large number of candidate designs for each iteration. The method is applied to a 24/16 SRM that is intended to be used in a lightweight race car as a hub motor. Six dimensionless geometric variables are optimized to satisfy three objective functions, namely torque ripple, motor mass, and copper loss. While the conventional DE takes at least 3000 candidate designs, the proposed method considers only 559 designs to reach a similar Pareto front. It is observed that the proposed method takes about 6 h 30 min compared to the conventional method that takes 32 h 50 min using the same computer. Therefore, the computation time is reduced almost five times with the proposed method.

    Development of High-Performance Nanostructured Aluminum and Its Constitutive Modeling
    (Taylor & Francis inc, 2023-10-11) Deka, Surja; Mozafari, Farzin; Mallick, Ashis; Thamburaja, Prakash; Gupta, Manoj
    A new technique, an in-situ hot-extrusion-based synthesizing process, is proposed to develop high-performance nanocrystalline aluminum (nc-Al) with an optimally tuned strength-to-ductility ratio suitable for various technologically relevant applications. Comprehensive investigations are conducted by characterizing mechanical and microstructural properties to realize the influence of various synthesizing variables on the properties of the bulk nc-Al. Furthermore, a continuum-scale constitutive modeling approach is proposed based on dominant microstructural mechanisms of plastic deformation and implemented into a finite element solver using a user-defined material interface. It is shown that the proposed theory can provide a versatile platform to predict the nanocrystalline aluminum mechanical response quite well.

    An FDTD-Based Computer Simulation Platform for Shock Wave Propagation in Electrohydraulic Lithotripsy
    (Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2013-06) Yilmaz, Bulent; Çiftçi, Emre
    Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) is based on disintegration of the kidney stone by delivering high-energy shock waves that are created outside the body and transmitted through the skin and body tissues. Nowadays high-energy shock waves are also used in orthopedic operations and investigated to be used in the treatment of myocardial infarction and cancer. Because of these new application areas novel lithotriptor designs are needed for different kinds of treatment strategies. In this study our aim was to develop a versatile computer simulation environment which would give the device designers working on various medical applications that use shock wave principle a substantial amount of flexibility while testing the effects of new parameters such as reflector size, material properties of the medium, water temperature, and different clinical scenarios. For this purpose, we created a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD)-based computational model in which most of the physical system parameters were defined as an input and/or as a variable in the simulations. We constructed a realistic computational model of a commercial electrohydraulic lithotriptor and optimized our simulation program using the results that were obtained by the manufacturer in an experimental setup. We, then, compared the simulation results with the results from an experimental setup in which oxygen level in water was varied. Finally, we studied the effects of changing the input parameters like ellipsoid size and material, temperature change in the wave propagation media, and shock wave source point misalignment. The simulation results were consistent with the experimental results and expected effects of variation in physical parameters of the system. The results of this study encourage further investigation and provide adequate evidence that the numerical modeling of a shock wave therapy system is feasible and can provide a practical means to test novel ideas in new device design procedures. © 2012 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. © 2014 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.; MEDLINE® is the source for the MeSH terms of this document.
