Study of a constrained finite element elbow prosthesis: the influence of the implant placement

2023

Abstract Background The functional results of total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) are controversial and the medium- to long-term revision rates are relatively high. The aim of the present study was to analyze the stresses of TEA in its classic configuration, identify the areas of greatest stress in the prosthesis–bone–cement interface, and evaluate the most wearing working conditions. Materials and methods By means of a reverse engineering process and using a 3D laser scanner, CAD (computer-aided drafting) models of a constrained elbow prosthesis were acquired. These CAD models were developed and their elastic properties, resistance, and stresses were studied through finite element analysis (fin…

A new invariant-based method for building biomechanical behavior laws - Application to an anisotropic hyperelastic material with two fiber families

2013

Abstract In this article, we present a general constructive and original approach that allows us to calculate the invariants associated with an anisotropic hyperelastic material made of two families of collagen fibers. This approach is based on mathematical techniques from the theory of invariants: • Definition of the material symmetry group. • Analytical calculation of a set of generators using the Noether’s theorem. • Analytical calculation of an integrity basis. • Comparison between the proposed invariants and the classical ones.

Étude du comportement de l'aorte dans le cadre de pathologie de type anévrisme

2013

International audience; Lorsqu'un patient présente une dilatation de l'aorte impliquant la possibilité d'une intervention chirurgicale (en raison du risque de rupture), la décision thérapeutique est prise en fonction du rapport des diamètres de l'artère. Toutefois cette mesure dimensionnelle est insuffisante et doit être compléter d'une estimation de la compliance de l'artère. C'est un travail complexe prenant en compte divers aspects. C'est une première approche qui présentée dans ce papier. Elle a pour objectif de quantifier les déformations de fantômes (répliques) en silicone ayant des géométries simplifiées mais proches de celle des patients présentant une pathologie de type anévrisme. …

The XP-Endo Finisher for the removal of calcium hydroxide paste from root canals and from the apical third

2017

Background The aim was to compare the efficacy of the passive ultrasonic irrigation PUI and the Xp-endo Finisher (FKG-Dentaire, La-Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland) in removing the calcium hydroxide paste from root canals and from the apical third. Material and methods Sixty-eight root canals of single-rooted teeth were shaped using the BT-Race files (FKG-Dentaire, La-Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland). Ca(OH)2 was placed in all samples except for the negative control group (n=4). Remaining teeth were randomly divided into three groups: G1-Xp (n=30), G2-PUI (n=30) and the positive control group (n=4). Removal procedure consisted of three repeated one-minute-cycles. Samples were split longitudinally, p…
