1. Finite element analysis of titanium foam in mechanical response for dental applicationSnehashis Pal, Igor Drstvenšek, 2021, original scientific article Abstract: Metals with certain porosity are a new class of materials with extremely low density and a unique combination of excellent mechanical, thermal, electrical, and biocompatible properties. Absorption of impact and shock energy, dust and fluid filtration, construction materials, and most importantly, biocompatible implants are all potential applications for metallic foams. An orthopaedic implant made of metallic foam can provide an open-cell structure that allows for the ingrowth of new bone tissue and the transport of body fluids. Due to its strong biocompatibility and stable fixation between the implant and human bone, titanium foam has recently received much attention as an implant material. Finite element modelling is a suitable method to obtain an efficiently designed implant. Accurate finite element analyses depend on the precision before implementation as well as the functionality of the material properties employed. Since the mechanical performances of titanium foam and solid titanium are different, a constitutive model for porous metal is required. The model of Deshpande and Fleck in the finite element analysis software ABAQUS is used to describe the compressive and flexural deformation properties of titanium foam with 63.5% porosity. The finite element simulation results were compared with the practical mechanical properties obtained by compression testing of the foam. Finally, the material modelling was used to investigate the stress distributions on the dental implant system.

2. Experimental characterization and phase-field damage modeling of ductile fracture in AISI 316lVladimir Dunić, Nenad Gubeljak, Miroslav Živković, Vladimir Milovanović, Darko Jagarinec, Nenad Djordjevic, 2024, original scientific article Abstract: ) Modeling and characterization of ductile fracture in metals is still a challenging task in
the field of computational mechanics. Experimental testing offers specific responses in the form of
crack-mouth (CMOD) and crack-tip (CTOD) opening displacement related to applied force or crack
growth. The main aim of this paper is to develop a phase-field-based Finite Element Method (FEM)
implementation for modeling of ductile fracture in stainless steel. (2) A Phase-Field Damage Model
(PFDM) was coupled with von Mises plasticity and a work-densities-based criterion was employed,
with a threshold to propose a new relationship between critical fracture energy and critical total
strain value. In addition, the threshold value of potential internal energy—which controls damage
evolution—is defined from the critical fracture energy. (3) The material properties of AISI 316L steel
are determined by a uniaxial tensile test and the Compact Tension (CT) specimen crack growth test.
The PFDM model is validated against the experimental results obtained in the fracture toughness
characterization test, with the simulation results being within 8% of the experimental measurements.

3. Impact of stator pole shape of synchronous motor on torqueAnton Hamler, Mladen Trlep, Bojan Štumberger, Marko Jesenik, 2002, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: The paper presents pole modelling of small one phase 10 poles synchronous motor with permanent magnets. The purpose of stator pole modelling is to provide a reliable operation of the motor with in advance prescribed direction of rotation with 80 % of the rated voltage. For analysis of magnetic conditions the 2D finite element method was used. Intuitive and trial modelling procedures were used for pole modelling.

4. On the local variation of the crack driving force in a double mismatched weldJožef Predan, Nenad Gubeljak, Otmar Kolednik, 2007, original scientific article Abstract: A material inhomogeneity in the direction of crack extension causes a difference between the near-tip crack driving force, Jtip, and the nominally applied far-field crack driving force, Jfar. This difference can be quantified by a material inhomogeneity term, Cinh, which is evaluated by a post-processing procedure to a conventional finite element stress analysis. The magnitude of the material inhomogeneity term is evaluated for cracks in an inhomogeneous welded joint made of a high-strength low-alloy steel. Both a crack proceeding from the under-matched (UM) to the over-matched (OM) and from the OM to the UM weld metal are treated. The effects of the inhomogeneity of the different material parameters (modulus of elasticity, yield strength, and strain hardening exponent) on Cinh and Jtip are systematically studied. The results demonstrate that the material inhomogeneity term is primarily influenced by the inhomogeneity of the yield strength. A crack growing towards an OM/UM interface experiences an accelerated crack growth rate or a pop-in, an UM/OM interface leads to a reduced crack growth rate or a crack arrest. The application of global assessment methods of the mismatch effect which are included in the Engineering Treatment Model (ETM) or in the Structural Integrity Assessment Procedures for European Industry (SINTAP) is discussed.
Keywords: crack driving force, material inhomogeneity, mismatched weld, interface, J-integral, finite element modeling
