A New Approach to Evaluate the Biomechanical Characteristics of Osseointegrated Dental Implants
2019
Tooth loss is a common pathology that affects many people. Dental osseointegrated implants are the ideal solution to restore normal functionality in partially or completely edentulous patients. The not perfect osseointegration and the fixture fracture are the main causes of failure for these kinds of implant. To avoid these drawbacks, several studies have been conducted to analyse the behaviour of dental implants. Aim of this work is to analyse the biomechanical behaviour of three different endosseous dental implants. For this purpose, a new numerical model has been developed to simulate different levels of osseointegration and to evaluate the stress values on the bone at different times. I…
Mechanical properties of the NiTi Memoria Leaf Spring Activated Expander (NiTi MLSAE) for maxillary transverse discrepancy correction: An in-vitro st…
2020
Background To determine the mechanical properties of the NiTi Memoria® Leaf Spring Activated Expander (NiTi MLSAE) in two forms, unaltered (unbent) and altered (bent) to mimic clinical use. Material and Methods This in-vitro pilot study was conducted using eight NiTi MLSAE expanders (American Tooth Industries, Oxnard, California) representing four force magnitudes: 10mm 500g, 10mm 900g, 6mm 450g and 6mm 900g models. Two experiments were performed: the first tested the expanders in their unbent form and the second tested them after they were bent by one experienced technician. All expanders were adapted to a standard three dimensional printed maxillary study model. A Dillion Quantrol 500N (1…

Traditional vs. sliding-joint masonry infilled frames: Seismic reliability and EAL
2020
Abstract In reinforced concrete (RC) multi-storey buildings, the important role of the seismic interaction of structural frames with masonry infills has been revealed by several earthquakes and investigated by many authors. Recently, several innovative infill solutions have been proposed to mitigate such interaction, which could result in widespread damage in both the masonry and the RC structure and sometimes jeopardize the building stability and the occupants’ safety. One solution consists in the partitioning of the masonry infill into several sub-panels, relatively sliding along specific joints. This paper investigates the seismic assessment of this technological solution in the framewor…
Recent advances in intelligent-based structural health monitoring of civil structures
2018
This survey paper deals with the structural health monitoring systems on the basis of methodologies involving intelligent techniques.

The importance and utilization of various intelligent tools to be mention as the concept of fuzzy logic, the technique of genetic algorithm, the methodology of neural network techniques, as well as the approaches of hybrid methods for the monitoring of the struct…
An estimator algorithm for the rotation time of magnetization vector in nuclear magnetic resonance for imaging (NMRI)
2018
The purpose of this paper is to propose a useful method to investigate the rotation time of the magnetization vector in the nuclear magnetic resonance for imaging (NMRI) system. The ninety degrees rotation of the magnetization vector is the first step in order to establish the free induction decay that radiates electromagnetic energy inside the NMRI chamber. The estimator involved in this research is called Luenberger's observer which is a state estimator of a dynamical system. The Bloch's equation is a dynamical system characterized by a radio frequency (RF) impulse located inside the dynamic matrix, which means the system is not linear. The observer algorithm involved in this paper estim…
Eulerian models of the rotating flexible wheelset for high frequency railway dynamics
2019
Abstract In this paper three formulations based on an Eulerian approach are presented to obtain the dynamic response of an elastic solid of revolution, which rotates around its main axis at constant angular velocity. The formulations are especially suitable for the study of the interaction of a solid with a non-rotating structure, such as occurs in the coupled dynamics of a railway wheelset with the track. With respect to previous publications that may adopt similar hypotheses, this paper proposes more compact formulations and eliminates certain numerical problems associated with the presence of second-order derivatives with respect to the spatial coordinates. Three different models are dev…
Solutions via double wave ansatz to the 1-D non-homogeneous gas-dynamics equations
2020
Abstract In this paper classes of double wave solutions of the 1D Euler system describing a ideal fluid in the non-homogeneous case have been determined. In order that the analytical procedure under interest to hold, suitable model laws for the source term involved in the governing model were characterized. Finally such a class of exact double wave solutions has been used for solving some problems of interest in nonlinear wave propagation.
An extrinsic interface developed in an equilibrium based finite element formulation
2019
Abstract The phenomenon of delamination in composite material is studied in the framework of hybrid equilibrium based formulation with extrinsic cohesive zone model. The hybrid equilibrium formulation is a stress based approaches defined in the class of statically admissible solutions. The formulation is based on the nine-node triangular element with quadratic stress field which implicitly satisfy the homogeneous equilibrium equations. The inter-element equilibrium condition and the boundary equilibrium condition are imposed by considering independent side displacement fields as interfacial Lagrangian variable, in a classical hybrid formulation. The hybrid equilibrium element formulation is…
