Q

What is stress?

A

Stress: When an external force is applied on a test specimen an internal force, equal in magnitude but opposite in direction is set up in the body

• STRESS= FORCE/AREA UNITS= Pascal (Pa)

(Textbook says area is cross sectional area?)

Q

How do we test dental materials mechanical properties using stress strain relationship

A

We apply load at a uniform rate and deformation should also occur at a uniform rate

Can use universal testing machine to determine these mechanical properties

Q

Stress strain curves

1) what do they show?

2) what does the straight line region demonstrate?

3) what does the gradient of the straight line region demonstrate?

4) what does the region under the straight line demonstrate?

5) What is the yield point?

6) what does region under curved part of graph indicate?

7) how does failure point compare in a more brittle material?

8) what is elastic limit ?

9) what is yield stress?

10) what is ultimate stress?

11) what is ultimate strain?

A

1) demonstrate relationship between stress and strain

2) straight line - linear relationship between stress and strain. As strain increases, stress increases proportionally

3) gradient of the straight line = elastic modulus of material

4) area under straight line = elastic region
Materials in this region will recover from any strain and no change in dimension
(Elastic deformation occurs)

5) yield point = also known as elastic limit . Point beyond which material will experience permanent deformation and change in dimension
On the graph, point the graph is no longer a straight line

6) area under curved - plastic region
Here materials suffer permanent change in dimension. Material will deform and extend until it fails - failure point (End of graph )
Plastic deformation occurs
Has exceeded elastic limit

7) more brittle materials - failure point is closer to yield point

8) elastic limit is the maximum stress a material can withstand without permanent deformation

9) calculate by finding yield point and then going across to y axis and is that value of stress

10) calculate by finding failure point and going across to y axis and is that value of stress

11) calculate by finding failure point and going down to x axis and is that value of strain

A
24
Q

Elastic deformation
Elastic deformation is represented by which part of the stress strain curve?

What is Young’s modulus?

What is proof stress?

A

Elastic deformation - straight line part

Young’s modulus - gradient of straight line part of graph
It is a measure of stiffness of a material

Proof stress = Point of which a particular degree of permanent stress occurs in the sample, also called offset yield stress
Stress needed to create typically 0.1-0.2% plastic deformation

27
Q

What is Youngs Modulus / Elastic modulus?

A

Measure of stiffness of a material within the elastic range (the linear portion of the curve) - KEY DEFINITON
It is also a mechanical property that measures the stiffness of a solid material

Defines relationship between stress and strain

32
Q

Tensile strength
What is tensile strength ?

A

Maximum amount of tensile stress a material/specimen can withstand before failure - either deformation or breaks if brittle

Ability of a material to resist a force that tends to pull it apart

33
Q

How do we test tensile strength ?

A

Test specimen placed in universal testing machine

Uniform load applied to pull apart and tensile strength can be determined

34
Q

Is it easy to determine tensile strength?

A
35
Q

Compressive strength

What is compressive strength?

How do we determine compressive strength?

A

Maximum compressive load specimen can withstand without undergoing failure (what failure means was mentioned on prev fc - deformation or breakage)

Determined using cylindrical specimens with dimensions in accordance to ISO or ASTM standards

36
Q

Is tensile test easy to carry out on brittle material?

A

FROM TEXTBOOK NOT LECTURE

For brittle materials tensile test is difficult to carry out and results show high degree of scatter
An alternative is compression test - more easily performed on brittle materials

37
Q

What happens to ductile materials when maximum compressive strength is exceeded?

38

39
Q

Do ceramics have higher compressive strength or tensile strength?

Do composites have higher compressive strength or tensile strength ?

A
40
Q

What is diametrical compressive strength also known as Indirect Tensile strength ?
How tested?
What is it widely used for and why?
Why is it widely used?

A

It is a property for characterising dental composite restorations

Cylindrical specimen loaded onto universal testing machine BUT axis is changed , cylinder turned on axis and indirect tensile strength

Widely used especially for dental composites as you can prepare small specimens

41
Q

How do we test flexural strength ?

What is flexural strength of a material?

What are flexural forces?

Is high or low flexural strength desired and why or why not?

A

BENDING TEST ( or flexure test ) USED TO TEST FLEXURAL STRENGTH

Flexural strength - Ability of a material to resist deformation under load

For materials that deform significantly but do not break, the load is yield typically measured at 5 percent deformation of outer surface

Flexural forces are result of forces generated in clinical situations and dental materials need to withstand repeated flexing, twisting and bending

High flexural strength is desirable as once materials are under action of chewing stresses may induce permanent deformation

42
Q

What is the difference between flexure test and bend test?

A

Difference between flexure test and bend test is between type of material used and info we have obtained from them

Flexure test designed to measure bend strength of brittle material

Bend test designed to measure crack resistance of ductile material

43
Q

How is bending test carried out?

A

Two types of bending test:
Centre loading test / 3 point test OR 4 point bending test

Centre loading test - specimen supported by 2 spherical supports. Centre point loading and bending is measured

4 point bending test - 2 supports but instead of loading at the centre using one knife edge, 2 knife edges used to bend / load specimen
Surface defects become more apparent with this test

44
Q
A
45
Q

Formula for bending strength - don’t need to memorise but do need to understand

A

Would test bending in a bridge

46
Q

What is hardness?

Why is hardness important?

How can hardness measurement be defined ?

A

Resistance to permanent surface indentation

Sufficient hardness ensures restorations are resistance to surface scratching during mastication or abrasion
Important in dentistry as it governs ease of cutting, polishing, resistance to abrasion in service

Hardness measurement can be defined as macro, micro or nano- scale according to the forces applied and displacements obtained .
