    Finite Element Analysis of Fgm Dental Crowns Using Phase-Field Approach
    (Elsevier, 2023) Sait, Ferit; Saeidi, Nazanin; Korkmaz, Turan
    Functionally graded materials (FGMs) - categorized in advanced composite materials - are specially designed to reduce the stresses and failure due to material mismatches. Advances in manufacturing techniques have brought FGMs into use in a variety of applications. However, the numerical analysis is still challenging due to the difficulties in simulations of non-homogeneous material domains of complex parts. Presenting a numerical procedure that both facilitates the implementation of material non-homogeneity in geometrically complex mediums, and increases the accuracy of the calculations using a phase-field approach, this study investigates the usage of FGMs in dental prostheses. For this purpose, a porcelain fused to metal (PFM) mandibular first molar FGM crown is simulated and analyzed under the maximum masticatory bite force, and eventually the results are compared to a PFM crown prepared conventionally.

    Elastostatics of star-polygon tile-based architectured planar lattices
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) Soyarslan, Celal; Gleadall, Andrew; Yan, Jiongyi; Argeso, Hakan; Sozumert, Emrah
    A panoptic view of architectured planar lattices based on star-polygon tilings was developed. Four starpolygon-based lattice sub-families, formed of systematically arranged triangles, squares, or hexagons, were investigated numerically and experimentally. Finite-element-based homogenization allowed computation of Poisson's ratio, elastic modulus, shear modulus, and planar bulk modulus. A comprehensive understanding of the range of properties and micromechanical deformation mechanisms was developed. Adjusting the star-polygon angle achieved an over 250-fold range in elastic modulus, over a 10-fold range in density, and a range of -0.919 to +0.988 for Poisson's ratio. Additively manufactured lattices, achieved by novel printing strategies, showed good agreement in properties. Parametric additive manufacturing procedures for all lattices are available on www.fullcontrol.xyz/#/models/1d3528. Three of the four sub-families exhibited in-plane elastic isotropy. One showed high stiffness with auxeticity at low density and a primarily axial deformation mode as opposed to bending deformation for the other three lattices. The range of achievable properties, demonstrated with property maps, proves the extension of the conventional material-property space. Lattice metamaterials with Triangle-Triangle, Kagome, Hexagonal, Square, Truncated Archimedean, Triangular, and Truncated Hexagonal topologies have been studied in the literature individually. Here, it is shown that these structures belong to the presented overarching lattice family. (c) 2023 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd.
