Detailed knowledge about the function and morphology of temporomandibular joint are necessary for clinical applications and for analyses of the function of temporomandibular joint prosthesis. Movements of temporomandibular joint are biomechanically sophisticated and are up-to-date not clear....

In contact mechanics, a problem might arise when at least one of the contacting bodies is not fully fixed, i.e. the corresponding functional is semicoercive. The paper will deal with numerical methods for these cases. The fundamental Uzawa method for a class of problems does not converge...

Abnormality in human joint biomechanics is the main cause of the degenerative disease development, therefore the description and correction of the joint biomechanics is essential for adequate treatment. We present an approach how to obtain the data of a patient and how to use these data...

The contact problem of symmetric indentation of two punches in the form of circular segments, without friction, into the exterior surface of a cylinder under harmonic force P0cosωt is considered. The problem is formulated into a singular integral equation of Hilbert type, its solution providing...
