Numerical simulation of the stress-strain state of the dental system

Abstract

We present mathematical models, computational algorithms and software, which can be used for prediction of results of prosthetic treatment. More interest issue is biomechanics of the periodontal complex because any prosthesis is accompanied by a risk of overloading the supporting elements. Such risk can be avoided by the proper load distribution and prediction of stresses that occur during the use of dentures. We developed the mathematical model of the periodontal complex and its software implementation. This model is based on linear elasticity theory and allows to calculate the stress and strain fields in periodontal ligament and jawbone. The input parameters for the developed model can be divided into two groups. The first group of parameters describes the mechanical properties of periodontal ligament, teeth and jawbone (for example, elasticity of periodontal ligament etc.). The second group characterized the geometric properties of objects: the size of the teeth, their spatial coordinates, the size of periodontal ligament etc. The mechanical properties are the same for almost all, but the input of geometrical data is complicated because of their individual characteristics. In this connection, we develop algorithms and software for processing of images obtained by computed tomography (CT) scanner and for constructing individual digital model of the tooth-periodontal ligament-jawbone system of the patient. Integration of models and algorithms described allows to carry out biomechanical analysis on three-dimensional digital model and to select prosthesis design.

Synthetic Human Mobility Data Generation: A Structured Review of Representations, Methods, and Practical Capabilities

Human mobility data has become an increasingly important component of urban analytics. Although the range of available mobility data sources has expanded substantially, access remains highly constrained by commercial restrictions, privacy concerns, and institutional barriers. Data protection procedures also often reduce the analytical value of released datasets. Synthetic mobility data has emerged as a promising solution, but existing methods differ substantially in their underlying mechanisms, the information they preserve, the outputs they generate, and the analytical questions they can support. Their comparative strengths and trade-offs remain insufficiently understood for urban analytics. This paper presents a structured review of synthetic human mobility data generation from an urban analytics perspective. We review the literature by methodological family and index it by the mobility outputs each family generates natively and the analytical capabilities those outputs enable. We first provide a taxonomy of synthetic data products, including population and persona representations, activity schedules, trip and tour records, trajectories, and aggregate mobility patterns. We then review the major methodological families, spanning mechanistic models, survey-driven population synthesis, activity- and agent-based simulation, deep generative models, transformer-based mobility language models, and LLM-agentic systems. Building on this synthesis, we introduce a Meaning-Population-Autonomy framework that characterises these methods along three dimensions: behavioural meaning, population grounding and scale, and generation autonomy. We consider these dimensions the principal requirements for downstream urban analytics. Few methods deliver behavioural meaning, population grounding and autonomous generation at once, and fewer still with generation constrained to feasible trajectories.

TERRA-NG v1.0: Extreme-Scale, GPU-accelerated Mantle Convection

We present TERRA-NG, a portable, GPU-accelerated, matrix-free mantle-convection code. A single Kokkos C++ implementation runs at scale on NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel GPU supercomputers. TERRA-NG has a deliberately narrow design: built on a radially extruded mesh of spherical wedges, tailored to the spherical shell geometry, which enables domain-specific optimizations like single quadrature-point integral-evaluations, radial coordinate storage compression and radial shared-memory tiling. The corresponding low-order $W_1$-iso-$W_2/W_1$ wedge-based Stokes--energy discretisation is verified against the Zhong et al.(2008) spherical-shell convection benchmark suite. We showcase TERRA-NG through strong- and weak-scaling on the JUWELS Booster (NVIDIA A100), MareNostrum 5 (NVIDIA H100), LUMI-G (AMD MI250X), Hunter (AMD MI300A APU), and SuperMUC-NG Phase 2 (Intel PVC) supercomputers. Coupled mantle convection simulations at $\sim\!11$ km and $\sim\!5.6$ km radial spacing ($\sim 2.8$ B and $\sim 22$ B DoFs) can be run routinely on standard node partitions of all considered systems. Global $\sim\!1$ km-per-gridpoint mantle convection ($\sim 1.4$ T DoFs) is feasible on an extreme-scale allocation, and a sub-km hero-run at $\sim\!0.7$ km grid spacing scaling up to $\sim 11,000$ GPUs of LUMI-G ($\sim 11$ T DoFs) shows the potential of the code on future, larger machines.

FireDataForge: A Unified Framework for Multi-Source Wildfire Data Retrieval and Integration

Wildfire research, modeling, and education require geospatial data from multiple sources that vary in formats, coordinate systems, spatial resolutions, and temporal cadences. This preprocessing burden limits reproducible reuse. We present FireDataForge, an open-source Python framework that automates retrieval and harmonization of 11 wildfire-related sources spanning fire behavior, weather, land cover, vegetation, elevation, built environment, wildland-urban interface, fire history, and satellite imagery. Given an MTBS Event ID, FireDataForge retrieves relevant datasets, aligns them to a common grid, and outputs analysis-ready NumPy arrays with embedded metadata. Batch processing of historical fires demonstrates support for fire behavior simulation, educational visualization, machine learning, and AI-assisted wildfire analysis.
