Effect of location and orientation of dental implant on stress-strain states in mandibular bone
Thomková, Barbora ; Valášek, Jiří (referee) ; Marcián, Petr (advisor)
The master’s thesis deals with issues belonging to the field of dental biomechanics, specifically the mechanical interaction of dental implants with the bone tissue of the mandible. The thesis focuses on the stress-strain analysis of the mandible with the implant inserted in different positions, with a different angle relative to the occlusal plane. The solution is performed by computational modeling using the finite element method. The geometry model of mandible was created based on CT images. The aim of the master’s thesis was also to compare the influence of the choice of the material model of cancellous bone tissue on the resulting stress-strain states of the mandible with the dental implant. Three material models of cancellous bone tissue were created - two homogeneous material model and a heterogeneous material model, which was based on CT image data. The work also investigates the effect of rotation (+5° or -5°) of implants in basic positions on the resulting stress-strain states. The stress-strain analysis showed that position and rotation has a greater effect on the stress and strain of bone tissue and implant than the chosen material model of cancellous bone tissue.

Valášek, Jiří ; Janíček, Přemysl (referee) ; Horyl, Petr (referee) ; Florian, Zdeněk (advisor)
Presented work deals with Biomechanical study of the facial skeleton. This work is focused on the fixation of the mandible after removal of a tumor from affected bone tissue. The aim of the work is to perform biomechanical study of the facial skeleton with subsequent detailed stress strain analysis of two mandible implants designed and manufactured for specific patients. The geometry model of mandible used for design of mandible implants and used for computational modelling has been obtained on the basis of CT data of two patients. A Theoretical-Clinical sub-study that deals with the comparison the CT data processing which is necessary for creating the model of geometry is a part of the thesis. Two models of mandible with applied mandible implant have been created for two specific patients with tumorous mandible bone tissue. Stress strain analysis has been performed for these two models. Results of the stress strain analysis of two models of mandibles with mandible implants are presented in the final chapters of the thesis. Findings of the biomechanical study have been published and applied in clinical practice.

Prediction of mechanical properties of the cancellous bone tissue of the mandible
Holá, Lucia ; Valášek, Jiří (referee) ; Thomková, Barbora (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with a problem from the field of biomechanics, specifically to determine mechanical properties of cancellous bone tissue of lower jaw and is focused on Young´s modulus of elasticity and apparent bone density detection. In this thesis a research of studies that were focused on determining a relationship between E and apparent density of trabecular bone is firstly included. Then solution is made using computational modeling using finite element method on the model of lower jaw that was constructed from CT scans. In the SolidWorks software, 12 cubes were made and inserted into the model that was later used in software called ANSYS Workbench, to calculate force reactions and E value using CT number values also calculated in the software. Calculated values of force reactions were then used for Young´s modulus calculation for each axis x,y and z using equations obtained from literature. Next solution was made using the ImageJ program in which values of Hounsfield units were obtained and later recalculated into apparent density values using mathematical relations. Then values of E as a function of CT number and E values obtained from mathematical relation were compared. Lastly the relationships between E and density were determined.

Strain stress analysis of hip joint with thinking of wear after total hip endoprothesis
Ebringerová, Veronika ; Valášek, Jiří (referee) ; Florian, Zdeněk (advisor)
The presented work deals with the creation of computational model of total hip endoprosthesis and the subsequent stress-strain analysis. The models of geometry of the pelvis and femur were created on base of CT data. In this model were fitted components od endoprosthesis, i.e. femoral stem and acetabular cup (metal and polyethylene pad) and also cement. On this system was subsequently modelled the rals loads conditions. Just the real loading of the prosthesis leads to the wear. It has a great influence on the quality of bone tissue, what is deteriorated. The deteriorated tissue was simulated under the acetabular component. The behaviour of the whole system is assessed on base of stress-strain analysis. This problems is very topical these days.

The role of imaging techniques in creation of computational models in biomechanics.
Prášilová, Eva ; Valášek, Jiří (referee) ; Marcián, Petr (advisor)
The first part of the bachelor´s thesis is dealt with the processing history of imaging techniques and their indications in a clinical practice. From point of view of the computer modeling, the computer tomography plays an important role in biomechanics. The second part of this treatment describes the scan processing of sections of two human mandible obtained from computer CT and micro-CT tomography. As a non-invasive way procedure can be characterized the image processing techniques, which analyze a bone density and BVF. The manual segmentation was applied in this analysis provided in ROI analysis software. There are shown the graphs of the bone densities of segments of two human mandibles depending on the specimen length and also there are compared the results of the measurements received from the CT and micro-CT tomography. Then follow the results illustrating the correlation of the relations and recalculations, which can be used as the determination tool of the mechanical properties of bone tissue. Finally there are described the computer models created in ANSYS focused on the different bone density analysis and stress strain analysis.

Stress-strain Analysis of Chosen Spinal Fixation Device
Prášilová, Eva ; Valášek, Jiří (referee) ; Marcián, Petr (advisor)
The degenerative and traumatic injuries of a spine are very frequent. In those cases it is necessary to stabilize the corresponding spine segment using a spine implant. The spinal implants are rigid or flexible, the latter known as dynamic ones in medical practice. In this thesis, the problems of the physiological spinal segment and the segment with implant were solved using the computational modelling (finite element method). Computational model consists of 4 lumbar vertebrae L2 – L5, intervertebral discs, joints and spinal implants. The spinal segment was loaded by the force 400N and 200N, than by force 200N together with bending moments 2,5Nm and 5Nm depending of the motion. The displacement of the whole system, contact pressure of cartilages, equivalent strain in cancellous bone and equivalent stress in the implant were analyzed. The deformation of the physiological model and the model with the implant are comparable, but the bone tissue of the model with the implant is dramatically more loaded in vicinity of the screws.

Stress-strain analysis of screw-bone system used in a plate-fixation of fractures
Kalnický, Jakub ; Valášek, Jiří (referee) ; Marcián, Petr (advisor)
In the field of orthopaedics and traumatology, a whole series of problems appear related to fracture fixation by means of various types of plates. Appropriate application of the plate is the difficult task that a doctor needs to deal with in the operating room. Regarding mechanics, the number of screws and their spacing have a major impact on the healing process. If there are too many screws or lack of them, the fracture does not heal properly. This can lead to implant failure. This work deals with stress-strain analysis of screws and bone tissue with a fracture fixed by LCP. It deals with the influence of different geometrical configurations of the screws on the stress, deformation and strain of the system. For this purpose, the computational modelling was used by means of the finite element method. Two computational models have been created, on which different screw arrangement was analysed. The first computational model represents diaphysis of the femur that is at the beginning of the healing process. For the four load models and eleven geometric configurations and number of the screws, a total of 44 computations were performed. The second computational model represents the distal part of the femur. Femoral geometry model was created based on CT (computed tomography) examination, geometric model of the plate was created by 3D scanning. Deformations and stresses were compared in the three geometric configurations of the screws during the healing process.

Stress-Strain Analysis of Total Endoprosthesis of Temporomandibular Joint
Horňas, Jan ; Valášek, Jiří (referee) ; Marcián, Petr (advisor)
The presented master’s thesis deals with the problem of the application of total endoprosthesis (TEP) during temporomandibular joint (TMJ) replacement. The implantation of TEP occurs due the severe TMJ disease (arthrosis, ankylosis, cancer) or its macrotrauma. Condylar prosthesis is fixed during the implantation by self-tapping screws to the mandible. This fixation causes a change of stress-strain behaviour of mandible, TEP and fixation screws. In the thesis is performed the stress-strain analysis by using computational modeling in use the finite element method (FEM). Analysis is performed for six different screws positions (the number of screws is unchanged) and for a variable the static friction coefficient (in range 0.1 to 0.11) between condylar prosthesis (CP) and fossa prosthesis (FP). Altogether, 36 variants of computational models were created. The stress strain analysis detected a substantial influence of the static friction coefficient value to final results of displacements, contact pressure on the articulation surface between the CP and the FP and also to von Mises stress of the CP. A substantial influence of different screws position is detected for von Mises stress in the screws and for von Mises strain in the cortical and spongious bone tissue.

Semerák, Jaroslav ; Valášek, Jiří (referee) ; Marcián, Petr (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with fixation of the lower jaw fractures using commercially produced fixators. The topic was researched on the basis of the available literature. The thesis also indicates basic anatomy of the surveyed area and nowadays the most commonly used materials. Subsequently, the stress-strain analysis of the lower jaw with the applied angular stable fixation plate was performed. The solution was performed for the lower jaw with a fracture in the area of the condyle with different types of fixation plates made of CP-Ti Grade 4. In addition, the strain analysis of the healed lower jaw with the fixators after the defect in the area of chin and angle was performed. The mechanical interaction analysis of the lower jaw with defect and applied fixation plate was solved by using computational modeling with variational approach, in use of the finite element method in Ansys Workbench 18.1. The thesis also describes in detail the creation of a computational model of the system and the subsequent solution.
