Abstract Three-dimensional finite element analyses of an elastic-plastic, single rivet-row, aluminum lap joint are presented and compared with previous results for linear elastic models. The calculations treat non-countersunk aluminum and steel rivets, 3 different configurations of countersunk rivets as well as two values of the friction coefficient. The compliance of the connection, rivet tilt, the stresses in the panels, peak plastic strains and the contact pressures and slip amplitudes at the rivet-panel and panel-panel interfaces are evaluated. The transverse, axial, and shear stress distributions and the stress concentrations generated in four different rivets are derived from the linear elastic models and related to the rivet geometry. Laboratory measurements of the lap joint compliance and local out-of-plane displacements that support the reliability of the finite element analyses are presented.

Abstract Objectives This study aims to compare the stress distribution and displacement that resulted from the use of a Gerber space regainer and sagittal distalizer using three-dimensional finite element analysis. Materials and Methods Three-dimensional simulated models of the appliances were developed using a software. The forces applied by the two appliances were 3N (tipping) and 15N (bodily), respectively. Displacement and von Mises stress on the compact and cancellous bone, periodontal ligament (PDL), crowns of the mandibular first, second permanent molars, and deciduous canines were calculated. Stress distribution and displacement values were measured via linear static analysis. Results Gerber space regainer showed greater displacement than that produced by the sagittal distalizer at the first permanent molar. However, such displacement was less at the other tested points when compared with that delivered by sagittal distalizer. The stresses created by Gerber appliance were higher in the crown and PDL of the deciduous canine than the crown of the first permanent molar crown. Conclusions Gerber appliance generates more distal force and less stress concentration on the crown of the mandibular first permanent molar than that created by the sagittal distalizer. On the other hand, stress concentrations produced by Gerber space regainer are found to be more on the crown and PDL of the deciduous canine. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of Gerber appliance needs more anchorage.

Two and three-dimensional finite element analyses of a butterfly valve assembly subjected to static fluid pressure were carried out using commercial code ANSYS. Good agreement between the experimental and finite element results were obtained. Sensitivity of results to various boundary and loading conditions was also investigated.
