• Aspects Concerning Contact Stresses from a Dental Articulator Joint 

      Ciornei, Florina; Alaci, Stelian; Muscă, Ilie; Frunză, Gheorghe; Irimescu, Luminița; Cerlincă, Delia (UDJG, 2010)
      A dental articulator is a mechanical device, which simulates the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The articulator is important because it replicates the basic revolve action of the upper and lower mandibles, as well as ...
    • Hysteresis and Mechanical Fatigue 

      Frunză, Gheorghe; Diaconescu, Emanuel (Universitatea ”Dunărea de Jos” din Galați, 2006)
      The material dumping, known also as inner friction or, simply hysteresis, is considered to be related to energy dissipation in the volume of a macro-continuous medium. This phenomenon takes place when a more or less ...
    • Interaction Between Two Unequal Circular Holes Lying in a Sheared Elastic Plane 

      Alaci, Stelian; Diaconescu, Emanuel; Frunză, Gheorghe (Universitatea "Dunărea de Jos" din Galaţi, 2006)
      The paper presents an analytic solution for the stress states in an elastic plan where two unequal circular holes are lying. At infinity, the elastic plane is sheared. To solve the problem, the authors used bipolar ...
    • Numerical and Experimental Investigations Upon Articular Cartilage Mechanical Hysteresis 

      Frunză, Gheorghe; Ciornei, Florina (UDJG, 2010)
      The paper presents biomechanical and tribological considerations upon articular cartilage. The experimental in vitro results from static and dynamic contact tests are presented together with numerical modelling of the ...
    • Singular Points in an Elastic Half-Plane Containing a Circular Hole, Loaded by a Normal Point Force on the Straight Boundary 

      Alaci, Stelian; Diaconescu, Emanuel; Frunză, Gheorghe (Universitatea "Dunărea de Jos" din Galaţi, 2006)
      These authors published theoretical results upon the stress state induced in an elastic half-plane containing a circular hole by a point force applied on its boundary. The solutions were found in bipolar co-ordinates and ...
