Article Abstract
The Aim Of The Study: Was to create a finite element design to evaluate the masticatory stress distribution on the full fixed prosthesis with three supporting implants and the mandibular bone in the conditions most closely resembling the real ones.
Materials And Methods: The geometric design was created with the results of a CBCT of a real patient. The transfer of the DICOM into STL format was carried out in the Mimics Medical 21 program, in which the author's splinting device for the implant was designed. The actual thicknesses of the patient's compact and cancellous bone layers were measured with Romexis ver. 4.5.1. Scanning of the artificial dentition was performed with the iTero Element 2 Version 1.7 which created an object in STL format. Design was performed in the package for finite element analysis Ansys 19.3. Tetrahedral elements of the second order were used for calculation. The structural elements were connected in the model by a rigid «Bonded» contact.
Results: A finite element model has been created for the experimental load design on the lower jaw for immediate implant restoration with few supports in combination with a device for stabilizing the implant in unfavorable clinical conditions. It is shown that the designed finite element model takes into account the biomechanics of the prosthesis with few supports. When calculating, the entire model was fixed to the mandibular process at its base, and was loaded with a force of 500 N, distributed over the teeth. The values of the maximum stresses obtained in the elements were 51.8 MPa for the compact layer and 245 MPa for titanium elements.
Conclusion: Thus, we created personalized geometric and finite element models for calculating the distribution of functional load on a long full fixed implant-supported prosthesis with few artificial supports, which makes the experimental results more accurate and correct.

Mechanical properties of engineered connective tissues are critical for their success, yet modern sensors that measure physical qualities of tissues for quality control are invasive and destructive. The goal of this work was to develop a noncontact, nondestructive method to measure mechanical attributes of engineered skin substitutes during production without disturbing the sterile culture packaging. We optimized a digital holographic vibrometry (DHV) system to measure the mechanical behavior of Apligraf living cellular skin substitute through the clear packaging in multiple conditions: resting on solid agar as when the tissue is shipped, on liquid media in which it is grown, and freely suspended in air as occurs when the media is removed for feeding.

The flextensional transducer (FT) is a typical low-frequency transmitting transducer that is capable of high-power operation due to its capacity for displacement amplification. This article uses the structural configuration of the class IV FT as the basis for designing a ring transducer, which is a circular structure comprising a multitude of class IV flextensional structures as well as circular acoustic radiation structures. The flextensional structure drives the circular acoustic radiation structure, which in turn generates sound waves at low frequencies.

Owing to the nanoscale thickness, excellent mechanical and chemical stabilities, 2D materials including graphene and hexagonal boron nitride have emerged as promising artificial solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) candidates for lithium metal batteries. However, whether the implementation of 2D materials is beneficial to electrochemical performance remains controversial, and the key to confining the electroplated Li beneath the 2D materials remains elusive. Here, a nanocrystalline graphene (NG) film is synthesized on high-carbon Cu and the Li plating/stripping behavior on Cu grown with different 2D materials is investigated.

The increasing demand for soft robotic systems in agricultural, biomedical and other applications has driven the development of actuators that can mimic the flexibility and adaptability of human muscles. Several studies have explored the design and implementation of soft actuators for robotic applications, however, there is a need for soft actuators demonstrating delicate gripping capabilities but also excel in specific biomedical applications, such as therapeutic massaging. The objective of this work is to develop a multi-finger soft pneumatic actuator mimicking human fingers for Ayurvedic therapeutic massaging and gripping applications.
