Background/purpose: The focus of this study was to find a correlation between the forces and vibrations during root canal shaping. This can be used to predict the fracture of the self-adjusting file (SAF) in root canal shaping.
Materials And Methods: Forty J-shaped resin blocks were used in this study. Simulated root canals of resin blocks were prepared with the SAF. Force and vibration during root canal shaping were measured by dynamometer and accelerometer respectively. The recorded time domain signal of force and vibration were transformed to frequency domain signals. Frequency domain signals had been used for correlation study between force and vibration amplitude. The root mean square (RMS) value of force and vibration signature for new file and file just before failure were statistically compared using t-test at 95% confidence interval (CI).
Results: Vibrations generated during root canal shaping exhibited positive linear correlation ( = 0.9173) with force exerted by the SAF on the root canal. It means vibration has strong correlation with force. The RMS values of force and vibration increase significantly ( < 0.05) just before the fracture.
Conclusion: From force and vibration analysis of SAF it was concluded that the vibration is well associated with force applied by the SAF on root canal. Therefore, the trend of force variation was reflected in the vibration signature. The sudden increment in vibration was the symptom of bulge formation and the end of useful life of the SAF.

A novel piezoresistive cantilever microprobe (PCM) with an integrated electrothermal or piezoelectric actuator has been designed to replace current commercial PCMs, which require external actuators to perform contact-resonance imaging (CRI) of workpieces and avoid unwanted "forest of peaks" observed at large travel speed in the millimeter-per-second range. Initially, a PCM with integrated resistors for electrothermal actuation (ETA) was designed, built, and tested. Here, the ETA can be performed with a piezoresistive Wheatstone bridge, which converts mechanical strain into electrical signals by boron diffusion in order to simplify the production process.

Resilient mounts play a vital role in anti-vibration and shock-absorption systems, making precise estimation of their static and dynamic stiffness essential for ensuring optimal mechanical performance and effective design. This study investigates the behavior of resilient mounts by analyzing their static and dynamic stiffness characteristics through the application of various hyperelastic constitutive models. Seven hyperelastic models were reviewed and systematically compared using numerical simulations, experimental data, and analytical solutions.

Silk fibroin, known for its biocompatibility and biodegradability, holds significant promise for biomedical applications, particularly in drug delivery systems. The precise fabrication of silk fibroin particles, specifically those ranging from tens of nanometres to hundreds of microns, is critical for these uses. This study introduces elliptical vibration micro-turning as a method for producing silk fibroin particles in the form of cutting chips to serve as carriers for drug delivery systems.

To address the challenge of accurately capturing tool wear states in small sample scenarios, this paper proposes a tool wear prediction method that combines XGBoost feature selection with a PSO-BP network. In order to solve the problem of input feature selection and parameter selection in BP neural network, a double-layer programming model of input feature and parameter selection is established, which is solved by XGBoost and PSO. Initially, vibration and cutting force signals from CNC machining are preprocessed using time-domain segmentation, Hampel filtering, and wavelet denoising.
