Is the stress on the stress-strain curve when it ceases to be linear
Proportional Limit
Yield Strength is…
Is the stress at some arbitrarily selected value of permanent strain
The Elastic Modulus is…
a measure of
the stiffness of a material The Elastic Modulus is the slope of the stress-strain curve in the initial
straight-line portion
Ultimate Strength is…
the stress at which the fracture occurs.
Denture base should be constructed from a rigid material for two reasons:
- Load distribution
2. To be used in thin sections without bending
The Yield strength of human enamel is…
344 Mpa
The Yield Strength of composite are…
138-172 Mpa
Average of biting forces: For molars***
580 N
Average of biting forces: Bicuspids ***
310 N
Average of biting forces: Cuspids***
220 N
Average of biting forces: Incisors***
180 N
Patients with restorations and prosthesis decreases the biting forces by**
50-80%
Stress is…
is the internal action to the external applied force
Stress =
=Force/Area
For a given force, the_______ the area over which is applied, the______ the value of the stress
smaller
larger
Strain is…
Is the change in length per unit length of a material produced by stress.
Strain = Deformation/Length
elastic strain is…
Temporary
Plastic strain is…
Permanent
