Úvod a cíl práce: Mechanický přenos zatížení na kost ovlivňuje kromě materiálových vlastností implantátu (mikrodesign), zejména typ použitého závitu a jeho parametry (makrodesign). Rozeznáváme čtyři základní tvary závitů: a) metrický, b) plochý, c) pilovitý, d) obrácený pilovitý a dva modifikované tvary podle ISO TC 150 normy: e) ISO Shallow HA kortikální a f) ISO Deep HB spongiózní. Mechanický přenos charakterizuje míru přenosu mechanického napětí ze závitu do kosti a je menší než jedna. V ideálním případě je roven jedné, ale vlivem odlišné pevnosti a pružnosti kosti a materiálu závitu je obtížné této hodnoty dosáhnout. Byly stanoveny dva cíle studie. Prvním bylo zjistit rozložení napjatosti (tj. tlakového, tahového a smykového napětí) nejčastěji používaných typů závitů zubních implantátů na rozhraní implantát – kost. Druhým cílem byl popis mechanické kompatibility (čili mechanického přenosu zatížení z implantátu na okolní kost) u stejných typů závitů. Metody: Pro modelování vlivu tvaru závitu implantátu na rozložení napětí v místě rozhraní implantát – kost jsme použili metodu konečných prvků v programu MSC Marc (MSC Software s.r.o., ČR) a metodiku podle Gefena, při které jsme analýze podrobili celou délku kontaktu implantátu s kostí. Definování okrajových podmínek. Velikost zatěžující síly byla F = 100 N, směr síly byl totožný s dlouhou osou implantátu a působiště síly bylo v jeho krčkové části.Charakterizování materiálového modelu. K popisu materiálových vlastností kosti jsme použili izotropní model, který definují dvě konstanty: Youngův modul pružnosti (E) a Poissonovo číslo (μ).Definování typu úlohy. Model byl simulován jako prostorová osově symetrická úloha. Výsledky: Z hlediska tahového napětí se ukazuje jako nejlepší závit ISO Shallow HA, v případě tlakového a smykového napětí se jeví nejvhodnějším plochý závit. Výsledky spočítané metodou konečných prvků u všech typů simulovaných závitů potvrzují, že v závitovém spojení je největší podíl napětí soustředěn v prvních cervikálních závitech. Diskuse a závěr: Z provedených simulací plyne, že profil závitu hraje významnou roli v ovlivnění velikosti a rozložení napětí v okolní kosti a mechanické kompatibility. Naše matematická studie neprokazuje, že existuje jeden ideální závit pro dentální implantát.
Introduction, Aim: Mechanical transfer of load onto the bone affects, besides implant material properties (microdesign), especially the type of thread used and its parameters (macrodesign). There are four basic types of thread: a) metric, b) flat, c) saw-tooth, d) inverted saw-tooth and two modified shapes as specified in standard ISO TC 150: e) ISO Shallow HA cortical, and f) ISO Deep HB cancellous. Mechanical transfer is a characteristic of the rate of mechanical stress transfer from thread to bone, which is less than one. The value of one constitutes an ideal situation but due to different strengths and elasticities in the bone and in the thread material, respectively, this value is difficult to achieve. Two objectives were set for the study. The one was to establish stress (tensile, compressive, and shear) distribution with the most used types of dental implant threads at the implant bone contact. The other objective was to characterize mechanical compatibility (or mechanical transfer of load from implant onto adjacent bone) with the same types of thread. Methods: The Finite Element Method using MSC Marc (MSC Software s.r.o.) program and methodology by Amit Gefen were utilized while the entire implant bone contact length was analysed. The model generation process consists of three stages. Definition of boundary conditions. The load force was F = 100N, direction of force was identical with the implant longitudinal axis while the origin of force was at its cervical area.Establishing material model characteristics. Isotropic model, specified with two constants, was used to establish characteristics of material properties: Young’s modulus of elasticity (E) and Poisson’s ratio (μ)Task specifications. The model was simulated as a 3D axisymmetric task. Results: The ISO Shallow HA thread comes out as the best one from the tensile stress’s point of view whereas the flat thread appears to be the most convenient when considering compressive or shear stress. The results computed using the Finite Element Method with all types of threads simulated confirm that the largest part of stress in threaded connection is found in the foremost cervical turns of thread. Discussion and Conclusion: The simulations carried out implicate that the thread cross section shape plays an important role in affecting stress amplitude and distribution adjacent to the bone as well as mechanical compatibility. Our mathematical study does not prove that there is one single ideal type of thread for dental implants.

Osseointegration is paramount for the longevity of dental implants and is significantly influenced by biomechanical stimuli. The aim of the present study was to assess the micro-strain and displacement induced by loaded dental implants at different stages of osseointegration using finite element analysis (FEA). Computational models of two mandible segments with different trabecular densities were constructed using microCT data. Three different implant loading directions and two osseointegration stages were considered in the stress-strain analysis of the bone-implant assembly. The bony segments were analyzed using two approaches. The first approach was based on Mechanostat strain intervals and the second approach was based on tensile/compression yield strains. The results of this study revealed that bone surrounding dental implants is critically strained in cases when only a partial osseointegration is present and when an implant is loaded by buccolingual forces. In such cases, implants also encounter high stresses. Displacements of partially-osseointegrated implant are significantly larger than those of fully-osseointegrated implants. It can be concluded that the partial osseointegration is a potential risk in terms of implant longevity.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this paper was to design a finite element model for a hinged PROSPON oncological knee endoprosthesis and to verify the model by comparison with ankle flexion angle using knee-bending experimental data obtained previously. METHOD: Visible Human Project CT scans were used to create a general lower extremity bones model and to compose a 3D CAD knee joint model to which muscles and ligaments were added. Into the assembly the designed finite element PROSPON prosthesis model was integrated and an analysis focused on the PEEK-OPTIMA hinge pin bushing stress state was carried out. To confirm the stress state analysis results, contact pressure was investigated. The analysis was performed in the knee-bending position within 15.4-69.4° hip joint flexion range. RESULTS: The results showed that the maximum stress achieved during the analysis (46.6 MPa) did not exceed the yield strength of the material (90 MPa); the condition of plastic stability was therefore met. The stress state analysis results were confirmed by the distribution of contact pressure during knee-bending. CONCLUSION: The applicability of our designed finite element model for the real implant behaviour prediction was proven on the basis of good correlation of the analytical and experimental ankle flexion angle data.

This study investigated the effect of implant thickness and material on deformation and stress distribution within different components of cranial implant assemblies. Using the finite element method, two cranial implants, differing in size and shape, and thicknesses (1, 2, 3 and 4 mm, respectively), were simulated under three loading scenarios. The implant assembly model included the detailed geometries of the mini-plates and micro-screws and was simulated using a sub-modeling approach. Statistical assessments based on the Design of Experiment methodology and on multiple regression analysis revealed that peak stresses in the components are influenced primarily by implant thickness, while the effect of implant material is secondary. On the contrary, the implant deflection is influenced predominantly by implant material followed by implant thickness. The highest values of deformation under a 50 N load were observed in the thinnest (1 mm) Polymethyl Methacrylate implant (Small defect: 0.296 mm; Large defect: 0.390 mm). The thinnest Polymethyl Methacrylate and Polyether Ether Ketone implants also generated stresses in the implants that can potentially breach the materials' yield limit. In terms of stress distribution, the change of implant thickness had a more significant impact on the implant performance than the change of Young's modulus of the implant material. The results indicated that the stresses are concentrated in the locations of fixation; therefore, the detailed models of mini-plates and micro-screws implemented in the finite element simulation provided a better insight into the mechanical performance of the implant-skull system.

The finite element analysis (FEA) has been identified as a useful tool for the stress and strain behaviour determination in lower limb prosthetics. The residual limb and prosthetic socket interface was the main subject of interest in previous studies. This paper focuses on the finite element analysis for the evaluation of structural behaviour of the Sure-flex™ prosthetic foot and other load-bearing components. A prosthetic socket was not included in the FEA. An approach for the finite element modelling including foot analysis, reverse engineering and material property testing was used. The foot analysis incorporated ground reaction forces measurement, motion analysis and strain gauge analysis. For the material model determination, non-destructive laboratory testing and its FE simulation was used. A new, realistic way of load application is presented along with a detailed investigation of stress distribution in the load-bearing components of the prosthesis. A novel approach for numerical and experimental agreement determination was introduced. This showed differences in the strain on the pylon between the experimental and the numerical model within 30% for the anteroposterior bending and up to 25% for the compression. The highest von Mises stresses were found on the foot-pylon connecting component at toe off. Peak stress of 216MPa occurred on the posterior adjusting screw and maximum stress of 156MPa was found at the neck of the male pyramid.

A three-dimensional finite element model of a vascular smooth muscle cell is based on models published recently; it comprehends elements representing cell membrane, cytoplasm and nucleus, and a complex tensegrity structure representing the cytoskeleton. In contrast to previous models of eucaryotic cells, this tensegrity structure consists of several parts. Its external and internal parts number 30 struts, 60 cables each, and their nodes are interconnected by 30 radial members; these parts represent cortical, nuclear and deep cytoskeletons, respectively. This arrangement enables us to simulate load transmission from the extracellular space to the nucleus or centrosome via membrane receptors (focal adhesions); the ability of the model was tested by simulation of some mechanical tests with isolated vascular smooth muscle cells. Although material properties of components defined on the basis of the mechanical tests are ambiguous, modelling of different types of tests has shown the ability of the model to simulate substantial global features of cell behaviour, e.g. "action at a distance effect" or the global load-deformation response of the cell under various types of loading. Based on computational simulations, the authors offer a hypothesis explaining the scatter of experimental results of indentation tests.

The research aims to analyze the tibial component rotation using the finite element method by resecting the tibia in a transverse plane at an angle between 1.5° (external rotation) and -1.5° (internal rotation). We used a three-dimensional scanner to obtain the tibia's geometrical model of a cadaveric specimen. We then exported the surfaces of the tibial geometrical model through the Computer-Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application (CATIA), which is a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) program. The CAD program three-dimensionally shaped the tibial component, polyethylene, and cement. Our analysis determined that the maximum equivalent stress is obtained in the case of proximal tibial resection at -1.5° angle in a transverse plane (internal rotation) with a value of 12.75 MPa, which is also obtained for the polyethylene (7.693 MPa) and cement (6.6 MPa). The results have shown that detrimental effects begin to occur at -1.5°. We propose the use of this finite element method to simulate the positioning of the tibial component at different tibial resection angles to appreciate the optimal rotation.
BACKGROUND: The spatially varying mechanical properties in finite element models of bone are most often derived from bone density data obtained via quantitative computed tomography. The key step is to accurately and efficiently map the density given in voxels to the finite element mesh. METHODS: The density projection is first formulated in least-squares terms and then discretized using a continuous and discontinuous variant of the finite element method. Both discretization variants are compared with the nodal and element approaches known from the literature. FINDINGS: In terms of accuracy in the L2 norm, energy distance and efficiency, the discontinuous zero-order variant appears to be the most advantageous. The proposed variant sufficiently preserves the spectrum of density at the edges, while keeping computational cost low. INTERPRETATION: The continuous finite element method is analogous to the nodal formulation in the literature, while the discontinuous finite element method is analogous to the element formulation. The two variants differ in terms of implementation, computational cost and ability to preserve the density spectrum. These differences cannot be described and measured by known indirect methods from the literature.
