This study aimed to evaluate the biomechanical behaviour of adhesive endo-crowns and the influence of their design on the restoration prognosis when four loading positions are applied from the restoration-tooth junction. Two three-dimensional finite element models for the lower first molar were developed: endo-crown as a monobloc and endo-crown of a primary abutment and a full crown. Four crown loading positions were considered: 5, 6, 7 and 8 mm. A force of 1400 N was applied buccally on the middle of the mesiodistal width. No differences were observed for the two endo-crowns concerning restoration displacement and the distribution of equivalent von Mises stress and total equivalent strain. Shifting the position of the applied load to 8 mm resulted in an increase in the displacement from 25 to 42 µm and an increase of equivalent von Mises stress concentration at the tooth. The height of load application on the restoration has a significant role in the prognosis of endo-crowns.

Waterborne bacteria pose a serious hazard to human health, hence a precise detection method is required to identify them. A photonic crystal fiber sensor that takes into account the dangers of aquatic bacteria has been suggested, and its optical characteristics in the THz range have been quantitatively assessed. The PCF sensor was designed and examined as computed in Comsol Multiphysics, a program in which uses the method of "Finite Element Method" (FEM).

Biomechanical study of elbow joint: different stages after the elbow anterior capsule injury.

Acta Bioeng Biomech

September 2024

Key Laboratory for Biomechanics and Mechanobiology of Ministry of Education.

: Elbow contracture is a common complication post-elbow trauma, the biomechanical environment after anterior capsule injury was complex. This study aimed to use a finite element model to investigate the biomechanical environment within elbow capsule and its surrounding tissues at various stages after anterior capsule injury. : A finite element model of the elbow joint, incorporating muscle activation behavior, was developed to simulate elbow flexion under normal condition (no injury) and at 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks following anterior joint capsular injury.

The biomechanical, morphological and ecophysiological properties of plant seed/fruit structures are adaptations that support survival in unpredictable environments. High phenotypic variability of noxious and invasive weed species such as Raphanus raphanistrum (wild radish) allow diversification into new environmental niches. Dry indehiscent fruits (thick and lignified pericarp [fruit coat] enclosing seeds) have evolved many times independently.

Relativistic and electron-correlation effects in static dipole polarizabilities for group 12 elements.

Phys Chem Chem Phys

January 2025

Institute of Applied Analysis and Numerical Simulation, University of Stuttgart, Pfaffenwaldring 57, Stuttgart, 70569, Germany.

In this study, we report a comprehensive calculation of the static dipole polarizabilities of group 12 elements using the finite-field approach combined with the relativistic coupled-cluster method, including single, double, and perturbative triple excitations. Relativistic effects are systematically investigated, including scalar-relativistic, spin-orbit coupling (SOC), and fully relativistic Dirac-Coulomb contributions. The final recommended polarizability values are 37.
