The objective of this study was to investigate the mechanical characteristics of implant–abutment interface design in a dental implant system, using nonlinear finite element analysis (FEA) method.

Using novel theoretical and modeling tools such as finite element analysis can greatly accelerate widespread applications in many areas of nanotechnology. Polymer reinforcement using fillers is a ...

Professor of Mechanics, Washington University, St. Louis, Mo. It's easy to construct finite-element models with errors. And it's just as easy to correct them, when you know how. The first step in a ...

Linear finite-element analysis does not provide enough information about buckling to make correct design decisions, especially when designing lightweight components ...
