@article{oai:mdu.repo.nii.ac.jp:00000457, author = {永沢, 栄}, issue = {1}, journal = {松本歯学}, month = {Apr}, note = {application/pdf, The finite-element method (FEM) was developed in the 1950s, and is comparatively new. The application range of FEM is very wide; for example, FEM is used in the field of the design of the buildings, cars, aircraft, acoustic equipment, dams and the tunnels, simulation of the global environment, the comet crashes and so on. Therefore, FEM is an indispensable method at present. As for the medical field, FEM is applied to changes of the endovascular bloodstream, inner stress on the jawbone distributed by articulation, periodontal features when receiving an impact and so on. Current personal computers have 10000 times the throughputs of mainframe computers in the 1970s, so impressive analysis is possible without problems. Also, Japanese researchers have the initiative in the world in this field of dentistry. FEM can be analyze flow and heat etc. in addition to structure; therefore, novel ideas from young researchers are expected.}, pages = {10--20}, title = {有限要素法の原理と歯科における応用}, volume = {33}, year = {2007} }
