Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) responses of the cylinders with the bionic surfaces inspired by giant cactus are numerically studied, and the range of Reynolds number is 8.0 x 10(3) < Re < 5.6 x 10(4). The dynamic response of the structure adopts Newmark-beta method. The effects of the height ratios (K-s/D, K-s is the height of the bionic structure) on VIV suppression are discussed in detail, and five different height ratios (K-s/D) include T1 (K-s/D = 0.000), T2 (K-s/D = 0.025), T3 (K-s/D = 0.050), T4 (K-s/D = 0.075) and T5 (K-s/D = 0.100). The VIV response process is characterized by four sub-regions (Region I, Region II, Region III and Region IV). As the height ratios of the bionic structures increase, the range of the large-amplitude-motion region gradually decreases, and the lockin range is smaller. The maximum amplitude ratio in cross-flow direction decreases from 1.50 (T1) to 0.75 (T5), and it reduces by about 50%. The maximum in-line amplitude ratio decreases from 0.35 (T1) to 0.12 (T5), which reduces by about 65.7%. For Tl and T2, the jump phenomenon of frequency ratio occurs between region II and region III. However, the jump phenomenon of frequency ratio occurs between region I and region II for T3, T4 and T5. The maximum mean-drag-coefficient decreases from 3.00 (T1) to 2.25 (T5), and it reduces by about 25%.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the macro- and micro-structure and the chemical composition of the surface of 5 different commercially available dental implants. Roughness values were also calculated. Materials and Methods: 1 zirconia implant (NobelPearl of Nobel Biocare) and 4 titanium implants, Syra (Sweden&Martina), Prama (Sweden&Martina), T3 (Biomet 3i), and Shard (Mech&Human), were analyzed through SEM-EDX analysis and quantitative evaluation of surface roughness (1 sample), and XPS chemical analysis (1 sample). Surface roughness was quantitatively assessed using the stereo-SEM method (SSEM). The following area roughness parameters were calculated, according to ISO25178: Sa, Sz, and Sdr. Results: From the SEM observations, all the implants analyzed presented modern well-developed micro-structures as the result of the specific process of double acid etching alone or combined with other additional treatments. Roughness values were generally greater at the level of the implant body and lower at the collar. The chemical characterization of the implant surfaces exhibited excellent results for all of the implants and indicated good care in the production processes. Conclusions: All the samples were well-conceived in terms of topography and surface roughness, and clean in terms of chemical residues.
