Dent 1.1 Flashcards
how is stress measured
Ratio of force per area (or stress)
Tension
Elongation forces directed away from each other in the same straight line (molecules resist being pulled apart)
Compression
shrinkage forces directed toward eachother in the same straight line (molecules resist being forced more closely together)
Shear
Forces paralle NOT along the same straight line (one portion resists sliding past the other
Torsion
twisting forces
Bending
results from a bending moment
Define strain
Deformation caused by stress
what is the proportional limit
The greatest sustained stress with out deviation from the linear proportionality of the stress strains
at what point does irreversible stain occur, and what is this region called
Once the Curve is no longer linear, Plastic region
what is the Elastic Limit
The greatest stress sustained without permanent deformation
when would Proportional limit and elastic limit represent the same stress within the same structure
In Linearly Elastic Materials
the stress at which the material begins to function in a plastic manner (permanent strain of about 0.2%)
yield strength
_____ _____ is slightly higher then _____ _____ because it include a slight amount of permanent deformation.
Yield strength, proportional limit
what are the two types of permanent defomration
Destructive - filling, crowns ect.
Constructive - ortho wires, partial clasps
Ultimate strength
The Highest point on the graph, the stress that a material can withstand.
