Article Abstract
Introduction: New designs and alloys have been developed to increase cyclic fatigue (CF) resistance of rotary files. The aim of this study was to compare CF resistance of ProTaper Universal (PTU; Dentsply Tulsa Dental, Tulsa, OK) and ProTaper Next (PTN, Dentsply Tulsa Dental) instruments at different points of curvature.
Methods: A total of 420 files (240 PTU, S1, F1, F2, and F3 and 180 PTN, X1, X2, and X3) were divided in 14 groups of 30 instruments each. Instruments in groups S1-5, F1-5, X1-5, F2-5, X2-5, F3-5, and X3-5 were tested at 5 mm from the tip. Groups S1-12, X1-12, and F1-12 were tested at 12 mm from the tip because S1, X1, and F1 instruments have the same diameter at that level. Groups F2-8, X2-8, F3-8, and X3-8 were tested at 8 mm (F2/X2 and F3/X3, respectively, had the same diameter at 8 mm). All files were rotated at 300 rpm until fracture. CF resistance was tested in stainless steel curved canals (60°, r = 3 mm). Time to fracture was recorded. The mean half-life and beta and eta were calculated for each group and were compared with Weibull analysis.
Results: PTN instruments will last significantly longer than PTU files with a probability higher than 98% at all tested levels except for S1, which was the significantly the most resistant instrument to CF at 5 mm from the tip.
Conclusions: PTU S1 was significantly the most resistant instrument at 5 mm from the tip. PTN files were significantly more resistant to CF than PTU instruments at all the other tested levels.

This study delves into the feasibility of leveraging quasi-static component (QSC) generation during primary Lamb wave propagation to discern subtle alterations in the interfacial properties of a two-layered plate. Unlike the second-harmonic generation of Lamb waves, QSC generation doesn't necessitate precise phase-velocity matching but rather requires an approximate matching of group velocities to ensure the emergence of cumulative growth effects. This unique characteristic empowers the QSC-based nonlinear ultrasonic method to effectively surmount the limitations associated with inherent dispersion and multimode traits of Lamb wave propagation.

Fatigue failure poses a serious challenge for ensuring the operational safety of critical components subjected to cyclic/random loading. In this context, various machine learning (ML) models have been increasingly explored, due to their effectiveness in analyzing the relationship between fatigue life and multiple influencing factors. Nevertheless, existing ML models hinge heavily on numeric features as inputs, which encapsulate limited information on the fatigue failure process of interest.

Understanding the dynamic response of granular shear zones under cyclic loading is fundamental to elucidating the mechanisms triggering earthquake-induced landslides, with implications for broader fields such as seismology and granular physics. Existing prediction methods struggle to accurately predict many experimental and in situ landslide observations due to inadequate consideration of the underlying physical mechanisms. The mechanisms that influence landslide dynamic triggering, a transition from static (or extremely slow creeping) to rapid runout, remain elusive.

Continuous and interrupted low cycle fatigue tests were conducted on nuclear-grade S30408 stainless steel under different stress conditions at room temperature. Vickers hardness testing and microstructure characterization were performed on the fatigue samples with different fatigue states. The evolutionary mechanism of the microstructure defects in materials under fatigue cyclic loading was discussed.
