In all the models, the minimum
principal stress (FRD: -2.025 MPa, screwed-FRD: -1.627 MPa, TFBC: -1.525 MPa, and screwed-TFBC: -1.074 MPa) in the buccal neck of the first upper molar is more active; hence, the compressive stress is observed in the buccal of the first upper molar teeth.
In fact, many studies have shown that the magnitude and direction of the
principal stress can be obtained by the formula transformation based on knowing the normal stress of three different cross sections.
These two theories are based on the Mohr-Coulomb (M-C) criterion without considering the intermediate
principal stress.
Von Mises analysis was used to assess the stress distribution in implant/abutment/crown, whereas the cortical bone tissue was evaluated using maximum
principal stress and are distinguished between tensile stresses (positive values) and compressive stresses (negative values).
As we can see from Figures 13 and 14, for both covered layer and original surface layer, the
principal stress curves almost coincide with the Y-direction stress curves, which means that the maximum
principal stress of ACCSSPS is in the longitudinal direction.
Figure 6a presents the simulation results of maximum first
principal stress during the process.
By means of von-Mises criteria, the figures of material failure stress, the maximum shear stress and maximum
principal stress are shown in Fig.
Biaxiality indication is defined as the
principal stress smaller in magnitude divided by the larger
principal stress with the
principal stress nearest zero ignored.
He led the first quantitative study describing the direction of the major
principal stress in soil as it is traversed by tractor tires.
The effect of this parameter can be observed in Figure 5, which shows the difference in the maximum
principal stress values calculated along the alignment at two points on either side of the discontinuity.
The results show that the changes of maximal displacement are less than a 0.1%, whereas for the maximum
principal stress is less than 2.5%, demonstrating the adequacy of the used mesh.
