Craig's Restoration Fundamentals of Material Flashcards
Define Biomechanics
Study of how biological material interact and deform
Define Force
Generated when one body interacts with another (direct contact of distance (gravity))
Translation or deformation occurs with..
a. Body Constrained
b. No Constrain on body
a. If body constrained, deformation/change of shape occurs
b. If no constrain on body, then translation or movement of body occurs
Where is the highest occlusal force?
Highest is in posterior ridge closet to the mandibular hinge axis
The force decreases as it moves mesially
Define stress
When forces acts on constrained body, the body resists the force.
Internal reaction is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to applied by external force
What is the formula for stress?
Stress = Force per area (Force/area)
What are the 2 basic types of Stress?
Sub types?
- Axial
- Tension
- Compression
- Shear
- Torsion
- Bending/Flexure
Define Tension
2 sets of forces directed away from each other in the same straight line
or
One end is constrained and the other end is subjected to a force directed away constraint
Define Compression
2 sets of forces directed towards each other in the same straight line
or
One surface is constrained and the other is subjected to a force directed toward the constraint
Define shear
2 sets of forces directed parallel to each other but not along the same straight line
Define torsion
Twisting of a body
Define Bending/Flexure
Applied bending moment
Define strain
change in length per original length of body when subjected to a load
Often reported as a %
Deformation from tensile force causes what change to the axis?
Elongation in the axis of the applied force
Deformation from compressive forces causes what change in the axis?
Compression/ shortening of the body in the axis of loading
What is this called?
Define it
Stress-Strain Curve
relationship of dental material studied by measuring the load and deformation and then calculating the corresponding stress and strain
Define A, B,
A: Proportional limits or elastic limits
Highest stress and which stress-strain curve is a straight line (i.e maximum stress that material will withstand WITHOUT permanent deformation)
B: Yield Strength
Point were material begins to functions in a plastic manner i.e. defines were transition from elastic to plastic behavior (estimates when material will start to deform permanently)
Define C, D
C: Ultimate Tensile/Compressive Strength
Maximum stress that a material can withstand before failure in tension or compression
D: Fracture Strength
Point at which a brittle material will fracture
Where is the elastic region?
Where is the plastic region?
area under 0-A = elastic region (able to return to normal length/ no deformation)
area under A-D = plastic region
Define Elongation
Deformation that results from the application of tensile force
Give indication of possible manipulation of alloy
Total elongation is a %
Includes both elastic and plastic elongation
The material is more brittle at (lower/high) % of elongation?
Lower % = brittle
The material is more plastic/permanent elongated at (higher/lower) %?
Higher % = more plastic/permanent elongation (permanently bent WITHOUT danger of fracturing)
Define Elastic modulus
Measures the elasticity of a material i.e. represents the stiffness of a material within the elastic range
Determined by the slope of the elastic portion of the stress-strain curve
Elastic Modules = stress/strain
