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
“A” is stiffer/rigid or flexible
“B” is stiffer/rigid or flexible
“A” is stiffer/rigid (metals/ceramics) because has a steeper slope
“B” is flexible (elastomers/polymers) because has a shallow/lower slope
Define Ductility of a material
Enable it to be drawn (stretched) and shaped into wires by been of tension (think turning wool on a spindle)
Define Malleability
Malleus = Hammer
Enables it to be hammered or rolled into thin sheets without fracturing (think sheet metal)
(High/Lower) degree of elongation indicates good malleability and ductility
High degree of elongation indicates good malleability and ductility
Metals tend to be (ductile/brittle)
Metals tend to be ductile
Ceramics tend to be (ductile/brittle)
Ceramics tend to be brittle
Define Resilience
Resistance of a material to permanent deformation
Measured by area under the elastic portion of the stress-strain curve (0-A)
Define Toughness
Resistance of a material to fracture
Area under the elastic and plastic portions of the stress-strain curve (0-D)
Brittle material have low toughness because little plastic deformation occurs before failure
Which graph(s) are stiff/rigid; which are flexible?
Stiffer: 1,2, 3, 4 (steeper slopes)
Flexible 5,6,7,8 (less steep slopes)
Which graph represents the toughest material?
Graph 1 = has the greatest area under the curve
Which graph(s) have the greatest resilience?
Graph 5,6 because have greatest area from (0-A)
Which graphs have the highest strength?
Graphs 1, 2, 5, 6 have the highest proportional limit
Which graphs have the highest ductility?
Graphs 1, 3, 5, 7 (longest to get to D)
Which graphs have the highest stiffness AND strength?
1 and 2 (steepest with highest proportional limit)
Which graph(s) have the greatest stiffness, strength, ductile?
Graph 1 (steepest, highest proportional limit, longest)
Amalgam, cements, ceramics, plaster, stone are (weaker/stonger) in tension than in compression?
Amalgam, cements, ceramics, plaster, stone are weaker in tension than in compression
Define viscoelasticity
Material that have the mechanical properties dependent on loading rate and exhibit both elastic and viscous behavior
Define viscosity
Resistance of fluid to flow and equal to the shear stress divided by the shear strain rate
Define Thixotropy
Describes the change in viscosity of a material with time
Elastomeric impression material have (high/low) viscosity
Elastomeric impression material have high viscosity to stay in place without flow
Define creep
Increase in strain in a material under constant stress
(Greater or lower) creep makes a material more susceptible to strain accumulation and fracture
Greater creep makes a material more susceptible to strain accumulation and fracture
Define Hardness
Resistance to permanent surface indentation or penetration
Resistance to plastic deformation
Define Friction
Resistance between contacting bodies when on moves relative to another
Define Wear
Loss of material resulting from removal and relocation of materials through contact of two or more materials
What are the 4 types of wear?
- Adhesive wear
- Corrosive wear
- Surface fatigue wear
- Abrasive wear
Define sol
Resembles a solution but made up of colloidal particles dispersed in a liquid (when chilled or reaction transforms into a gel)
Define adsorption
ADsorption: liquid/gas adheres to the surface of the solid/liquid firmly by the attachment of molecules
Define absorption
ABsorption: substance absorbed diffuses into the solid material by a diffusion process
Do detergents (increase/decrease) surface tension of water?
Detergents decrease surface tension of water
Its hydrophilic part is in water and its hydrophobic end is in air/wax
(Increasing/Decreasing) the surface tension (Increases/Decreases) wetting
Decreasing** the surface tension **Increases wetting
Define Wetting power of liquid
Represented by its tendency to spread on the surface of the solid
The greater the tendency to wet the surface, the (lower/higher) the contact angle
Lower
Complete wetting occurs at what contact angle?
Zero
What occurs of the contact angle of solder is too great?
There will be no penetration into the fine detail of structures to be joined
