Numerical and Machine-Aided Experimental Models for Simulating the 3D Compliance of a Toothbrush

Numerical and Machine-Aided Experimental Models for Simulating the 3D Compliance of a Toothbrush

One of the most discussed topics in toothbrush design is identifying the contact force exerted by the bristles on the teeth. Each bristle must generate a contact force to ensure tooth cleaning without damaging it. Numerical simulation is a very powerful tool for understanding the influence of design...
