2PropertiesOfMaterials Flashcards
*What is the formula for stress? What is the unit of measurement?
S=Force/Area…1 Newton/m^2= 1 Pascal
*What are the 5 types of stress?
1.Tension 2.Compression 3.Shear 4.Torsion 5.Bending
*What type of stress occurs when elongation forces are directed away from each other in the same straight line and the molecules resist being pulled apart?

Tension
*Which type of stress occurs when shrinkage forces are directed toward each other in the same straight line and molecules resist being forced more closely together.
Compression
*Which type of stress occurs when forces are directed parallel to each other NOT along the same straight line and one portion resists sliding past the other.
Shear
*Which type of stress occurs when there are twisting forces?
Torsion
*Which type of stress results from a bending moment?
Bending..haha. lol.
*What is Deformation caused by stress? How is it measured? What is the formula for deformation?
STRAIN…Measured unitless or as a %…Deformation=Deformation/Length
*What is the stress at which the material begins to function in a PLASTIC manner? Limited permanent strain HAS occurred…What is the % of permanent strain?
Yield Strength…0.2% permanent strain
*Is Permanent Deformation Constructive or DeStructive in the oral cavity?
It can be Destructive(crowns/partials) OR Constructive(ortho wires)!
*Where can I find Ultimate Strength on the Strain/Stress curve?
Ultimate Stress=Highest point on curve
*What is the max. stress that a material can withstand in tension?
Ultimate Tensile Strength
*What is the max. stress a material can withstand in
compression?
Ultimate Compression Strength
What’s another word for “permanent deformation”?
Failure
*Why is Yield Strength of greater importance then Ultimate Strength in dentistry?
Yield strength is an estimate of when a material will start to FAIL!
*What is the stress at which a brittle material fractures?
Fracture Strength
