One of the key problems in dental biomechanics is the prediction of tooth mobility under functional loads. Understanding tooth displacement due to load is becoming more important as new solutions in dental restorations, prosthodontics and orthodontic treat ...
This paper describes the production of an adaptive composite by embedding thin pre-strained shape memory alloy actuators into a Kevlar-epoxy host material. In order to combine the activation and sensing capabilities, fibre Bragg grating sensors are also em ...
The soft tissue, called periodontal ligament (PDL), that connects the alveolar bone and the tooth root accounts to a large extent for the mobility, stress-distribution and, due to its viscoelastic properties, damping of the bone-tooth complex. The accurate ...
Calculated strain distributions in flexible pavement were studied by comparison with measurements made on full-scale structures. The calculated results were obtained by elastic and viscoelastic modellings of these structures. As no stress measurements were ...
We present an assessment of the mechanical constitutive behavior after irradiation for a tempered martensitic steel, Eurofer97', and for Zircaloy by means of small-ball punch tests. For that purpose we use a finite-element model of the punch test device. W ...
A one-dimensional fragmentation analysis that incorporates elastic wave propagation and a cohesive failure process is presented. An irreversible cohesive law models the internal crack nucleation and opening process, and the elastodynamic states of the inta ...
This paper reports an experimental and numerical study conducted to investigate the behavior of macroscopic monomodal concentrated suspensions (40%) undergoing a creeping torsional flow between two rotating plates. An experimental technique based on the de ...
Research interest in the thermo-mechanical behaviour of soils is growing as a result of an increasing number of geomechanical problems involving thermal effects. This paper addresses various issues concerning the thermo-mechanical behaviour of soils. Start ...
The deformation of copper with grain size less than 10 nm is investigated using a 2D continuum model incorporating atomistically-based constitutive relations. The local constitutive response of a series of symmetric and asymmetric tilt grain boundaries is ...
This paper presents a finite element calculation of frictionless, non-adhesive, contact between a rigid plane and an clasto-plastic solid with a self-affine fractal surface. The calculations are conducted within an explicit dynamic Lagrangian framework. Th ...
