Four (3D) finite element models of fully osteointegrated 3-mm diameter × 11.5-mm length dental implant indifferent alveolar bone with different cortical bone thickness are created, using SolidWorks computer aided design software. The alveolar bone cortical-spongy bone ratio modelled includes I) 90%-10%, II) 60%-40%, III) 40%-60%, and IV) 10%-90%. These models are then exported to ABAQUS software and stress analyses are run under an occlusal load of 70 N acting on the platform face of the dental implant. Results of this study show that the implants are subjected to similar stress distributions in all models; maximum stress values are confined in the outer cervical plate of the cortical bone around the neck. This could explain bone loss and implant de-osseointegration. Peak stresses are lowest in the model with 90% cortical bone (14.2 MPa) and almost doubled in the model with 10% cortical bone (26.6 MPa). The stress values gradually reduce towards the apical area, demonstrating masticatory force transfer from implant to bone. Furthermore, both cortical and spongy bone structures exhibit highest stress values in the model with thinnest cortical layer. The high interfacial stress concentration near the implant-cortical bone junction could lead to bone failure or implant instability induced by fatigue or overload risk.

The blade structure must be designed to support the difficult environmental conditions (e.g., wind, and snow) encountered during the operational life of the wind turbine.

The 3D modeling of the blade structure is performed using SolidWorks, a computer-aided design (CAD) software package, and the structural strength analysis uses the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) technique to identify the stiffness, resistance, and reliability of the blade structure. The simulation results obtained indicate that no structural failures are predicted for either of the two structures tested because the factors of safety are larger than one, and the all maximum deflections are within the allowable deformation limits for the materials.

The damping behaviour is studied in the frequency domain (constant damping ratio model vs. Kelvin-Voigt/ beta damping model) and time-domain (proposed modified hysteresis model vs. Kelvin-Voigt/ beta damping model).

In the transient analysis, the Kelvin-Voigt model likewise produced unnaturally rapid damping of the oscillations for both the single- and bi-metal beam, compared to the modified hysteretic damping model, which produced a damping behaviour closer to actual metal behaviour.

The turbulent flow develops in the downstream region due to the laminar vortex shedding at lower Reynolds numbers.
