• 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 ...
    • Numerical Modelling of 3D Impact 

      Stelian, Alaci; Diaconescu, Emanuel; Ciornei, Florina; Irimescu, Luminița; Cerlincă, Delia; Rusu, Ovidiu (UDJG, 2010)
      The paper presents a virtual device designed for studying tri-dimensional impact. The main goal of the work is to present a solution for finding the coefficient of restitution for the tri-dimensional case of a sphere ...
    • Upon Fretting Behaviour in a Hertzian Point Contact 

      Irimescu, Luminita; Ciornei, Florina; Berthier, Yves (UDJG, 2010)
      Fretting is known as a wear process occurring in a small amplitude cyclic motion of two solid contacting surfaces and it can affect the fatigue resistance of the material, inducing wear and cracking. The kinematics ...
