双侧下颌支矢状劈开截骨术后患者可施加合适咬合力的数值研究

双侧下颌支矢状劈开截骨术在临床手术中广泛用于治疗缩颌、凸颌和颌面不对称患者的颌面畸形症状。本文用数值方法研究双侧下颌支矢状劈开截骨术并前移下颌骨后患者可施加的合适咬合力。首先,用缩颌患者的CT断层扫面数据建立下颌骨、关节盘、关节窝和相关软组织的高度几何相似性的几何模型;然后,用有限元模型模拟双侧下颌支矢状劈开截骨术后患者的咬合过程。通过分析发现,术后关节盘上的位移处于正常的范围,而应力却远远超过正常范围,因此,将应力因素作为确定术后患者可施加的合适咬合力的标准。当施加正常咬合力的25%时,关节盘上的应力分布和术前没有显著性差异,同时下颌骨上的应力水平也处于正常范围。     

Semi-discrete breather in a helicoidal DNA double chain-model

The nonlinear dynamics of DNA molecular chain is studied for longitudinal and transversal motions through a new discrete helicoidal zigzag model with four degrees of freedom. We take into account the Stokes and hydrodynamical viscous forces. In the semi-discrete approximation, we show that the coupled nonlinear partial differential equations for the longitudinal and transversal out-of-phase motions can be reduced to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with complex coefficients, allowing analytical breather soliton solution. We found analytically as well as numerically that increasing the damping constant reduces the amplitude and increases the width of the soliton. When the zigzag angle decreases, the height of the soliton increases, but its width remains constant. The linear stability analysis of the system is performed. The growth rate of the instability and the instability regions are discussed as the functions of damping constant, zigzag angle and system parameters.     

Nonlinear modeling and dynamic analysis of the rotor-bearing system

To overcome the shortcomings of extreme time-consuming in solving the Reynolds equation, two efficient calculation methods, based on the free boundary theory and variational principles for the unsteady nonlinear Reynolds equation in the condition of Reynolds boundary, are presented in the paper. By employing the two mentioned methods, the nonlinear dynamic forces as well as their Jacobians of the journal bearing can be calculated saving time but with the same accuracy. Of these two methods, the one is called a Ritz model which manipulates the cavitation region by simply introducing a parameter to match the free boundary condition and, as a result, a very simple approximate formulae of oil-film pressure is being obtained. The other one is a one-dimensional FEM method which reduces the two-dimensional variational inequality to the one-dimensional algebraic complementary equations, and then a direct method is being used to solve these complementary equations, without the need of iterations, and the free boundary condition can be automatically satisfied. Meanwhile, a new order reduction method is contributed to reduce the degrees of freedom of a complex rotor-bearing system. Thus the nonlinear behavior analysis of the rotor-bearing system can be studied time-sparingly. The results in the paper show the high efficiency of the two methods as well as the abundant nonlinear phenomenon of the system, compared with the results obtained by the usual numerical solution of the Reynolds equation.     

Function of region

The purpose of this paper is to extend points function and interval functions theoretics to an arbitrary region. For this, the new theory, the contraction of a region, and the retraction of a region; the extension of a region, and the kernel-preserving extension of a region are established by the author. Starting from these concepts, the new definitions of a region function is given. And a kernel (i.e. fixed point) of a region function is connected with a stable centre of defining region of such a region function. Thereby, the region theoretics and algorithms are established.In applications, to find a stable centre of a region, the author has utilized the measure theoretics of matrice defined by Hartfiel⁽⁷⁾ and other authors. The measure problems of coefficient matrice of system of equations of linear algebra associated with some region are discussed.     

Phase volume and size effects on the terminal relaxation of ABS melts

The dynamical viscoelasticity of ABS melts with different particle size was investigated at various levels of rubbery phase contents. The effects of the rubber are more pronounced in the terminal zone: a transition from viscoelastic liquid to viscoelastic solid behavior was observed which can be interpreted as a physical gelation occurring at a critical rubbery phase content. This critical content resulted in being smaller in the case of smaller particles. A quantitative explanation of the experimental findings was proposed in terms of the average interparticle distance and overlapping of the chains grafted onto the neighboring rubber particles. The gel-like transition appeared to correspond to an approximately constant level of grafted chains overlapping.Presented in part at the Symposium Recent Developments in Structured Continua, Montreal (Canada), 26–28 May 1993.     

Control of flight forces and moments by flapping wings of model bumblebee

The control of flight forces and moments by flapping wings of a model bumblebee is studied using the method of computational fluid dynamics.Hovering flight is taken as the reference flight:Wing kinematic parameters are varied with respect to their values at hovering flight.Moments about(and forces along)x,y,z axes that pass the center of mass are computed.Changing stroke amplitude(or wingbeat frequency)mainly produces a vertical force.Changing mean stroke angle mainly produces a pitch moment.Changing wing angle of attack,when down-and upstrokes have equal change,mainly produces a vertical force,while when down-and upstrokes have opposite changes,mainly produces a horizontal force and a pitch moment.Changing wing rotation timing,when dorsal and ventral rotations have the same timing,mainly produces a vertical force,while when dorsal and ventral rotations have opposite timings,mainly produces a pitch moment and a horizontal force.Changing rotation duration has very small effect on forces and moments.Anti-symmetrically changing stroke amplitude(or wingbeat frequency)of the contralateral wings mainly produces a roll moment.Anti-symmetrically changing angles of attack of the contralateral wings,when down-and upstrokes have equal change,mainly produces a roll moment,while when down-and upstrokes have opposite changes,mainly produces a yaw moment.Anti-symmetrically changing wing rotation timing of the contralateral wings,when dorsal and ventral rotations have the same timing,mainly produces a roll moment and a side force,while when dorsal and ventral rotations have opposite timings,mainly produces a yaw moment.Vertical force and moments about the three axes can be separately controlled by separate kinematic variables.A very fast rotation can be achieved with moderate changes in wing kinematics.

Wave forces on a submerged horizontal plate - Part I: Theory and modelling

This paper is concerned with the propagation of nonlinear gravity waves over a thin horizontal plate submerged in water of shallow depth. An unsteady solution of the problem is obtained by use of the theory of directed fluid-sheets for the two-dimensional motion of an incompressible and inviscid fluid. Particular attention is paid to the calculation of the nonlinear wave-induced vertical and horizontal forces and overturning moment by solving the Level I Green–Naghdi equations. The theoretical formulation of the problem is given in this paper (Part I), while the results due to solitary and cnoidal waves, and comparisons with the available experimental data are given in a companion paper under the same title (Part II).     

Electrostatic forces in micromanipulation: Experimental characterization and simulation including roughness

Manipulation by contact of objects between 1 m and 1 mm are often disturbed by adhesion between the manipulated object and the gripper. Electrostatic forces are among the phenomena responsible for this adhesive effect. Analytical models have been developed in the literature to predict electrostatic forces. Most models have been developed within the framework of scanning probe microscopy, i.e. for a contact between a conducting tip and a metallic surface. In our study, we developed a simulation tool based on finite elements modeling. The strength of this model lies in the fact that it integrates roughness parameters. Measurements of electrostatic forces in function of roughness were conducted by atomic force microscopy. The experimental results were compared with the simulation results showing very good correlation. This demonstrates the influence of surface topography on electrostatic forces, especially for very small separation distances and proves the utility of the simulation tool in designing surfaces with controlled adhesion. Some application fields to which these results can be applied are drug delivery devices and micromanipulation tools.
