Eccentric Occlusal Loads Remodel the Dentoalveolar and Temporomandibular Biomechanical Unit in Rats
Eccentric occlusal loads remodel the dentoalveolar and temporomandibular joints in the masticatory biomechanical unit in rats. (A) Bite block as an occlusal rise (OR) on the rat maxillary first molar (green region) is shown. (B) 18F‐NaF Positron emission tomography localised regions of higher metabolic activity (higher uptake in the left condyle ...

This study compares the biomechanical effects of three anterior fixation systems in thoracolumbar surgery—HXTL, NHXTL, and Medtronic's CD Horizon ANTERIOR. Finite element analysis evaluates stress and displacement across vertebral bodies and support structures under varying load conditions. Results indicate the HXTL system minimizes nail–rod stress yet

In patients with unilateral knee osteoarthritis, a novel natural kinematic alignment (NKA) using the contralateral healthy knee as reference was compared with mechanical alignment (MA) and kinematic alignment (KA) via finite element analysis and a clinical study. NKA provided more balanced stress in neutral/mild varus models.

Cooling holes provide a simple passive cooling strategy for polymer spur gears, reducing maximum operating temperature by up to 9.39% while introducing a measurable gear mesh stiffness penalty. A validated response‐surface model reveals how hole size and location govern this thermal–mechanical trade‐off, enabling design optimization for thermally and ...

Ultrasonic Vibration Assisted Laser Processing: A Hybrid Paradigm for Extreme Surface Enhancement
ABSTRACT Traditional laser processing techniques offer many advantages, but they often encounter limitations such as heat‐affected zones, recast layers, residual tensile stresses, and poor surface finish. The integration of ultrasonic vibration (UV) presents a promising hybrid approach to overcome these challenges by introducing beneficial effects like
