Node 32,324, representing the anterior deepest convex portion of the nasal septum maximum, showed a negative Z-displacement (downward displacement) of −0.92 mm, indicating a downward displacement of structures medial to the area of force application.
At node 3971, corresponding to the anterior zygomatic arch, a maximum positive Z-displacement (upward displacement) of 1.72 mm was seen.
In every case, after tissue researches its maximum z-displacement value, this state was maintained until the end of the simulation (3600 seconds).
The maximum negative Y-displacement (backward displacement) was observed at the anterior zygomatic arch, indicating that this portion of the craniofacial complex had moved posteriorly.
In a similar study done by Jafari et al. [13], the maximum negative Y-displacement was less compared to our study.
At Node 3971, maximum negative Y-displacement was -0.86 mm which corresponds to the anterior zygomatic arch, indicating posterior movement of craniofacial complex.
Node 3971 which corresponds to the anterior zygomatic arch showed a maximum negative Y-displacement (backward displacement) of −0.86 mm indicating that this portion of the craniofacial complex has moved posteriorly.
The value is equal to the maximum of z displacement, which indicates rolling is dominant in the motion.
Carbon nanotube's coordinate in the z direction moves up and down obviously, and the maximum of z displacement is about 1.3 nm, which is similar to the diameter of SWCNT (10,10) of 1.38 nm.
The relative x-displacement of the NDTs in anterior column (AC) is generally characterized by a minimum occurring between 20 and 45 ms and a maximum at around 70 to 95 ms while the AC NDTs' relative z-displacement reaches its minimum in the range of 25 to 45 ms before restoring to the maximum in the range of 70 to 90 ms.
