Q

Do stress concentrations increase or decrease on notches, grooves, cracks, surface regularities?

A

The stress concentrations increase - that is why we avoid sharp corners in teeth cavity preparations.

Q

Define Elastic Limit

A

Q

Ductility is measured by % of ______

A

elongation

24
Q

High % of elongation means

A

it’s a ductile material

25
Q

Low % of elongation means

A

it’s a brittle material

26
Q

Define Ultimate Tensile Strength

A

stress at which the material breaks the last point in a stress-strain curve

27
Q

** REVIEW THE STRESS STRAIN CURVE

A

First part of graph is linear (Elastic strains), slope of linear part of the graph is Modulus of Elasticity or Young’s modulus. Material follows Hook’s law.

28
Q

Remember 1: flexibility is a combination of the notion of less rigid but also more extend of deformation in the elastic region of a material.

A

High modulus = more rigid material, Low modulus: less rigid material

29
Q

Define Maximum Strength

A
  • Maximum stress the material undergoes during stress-strain test - Also called generically ‘strength’.
30
Q

Define Resilience

A
  • Amount of energy a material can absorb without permanently deforming.
31
Q

Resilience on the Stress Strain Graph

A
  • Area under the stress-strain graph in the elastic portion of it.
32
Q

Define Toughness

A
  • Total amount of energy a material can absorb until fracture.
33
Q

Toughness on the stress strain graph

A
  • Area under the total stress-strain graph.
34
Q

Big ole bold reminder on the summary page:

A

Fundamental properties of a specific material can not be related between them, i.e. you need to know the individual values of each of them to have the total mechanical description of the material. Most importantly, you can not infer any mechanical property associated in the plastic region of the material by knowing the mechanical properties of that same material in the elastic region.

35
Q

5 Applied Properties

A

Impact, Fatigue Strength, Hardness, Abrasion, Viscoelasticity

36
Q

A material should be tested for its mechanical response while suffering an _____

A

impact. and the energy the material absorbs is the measured property in impact test.

37
Q

Define Impact

A

Measure of brittleness under application of forces at high speed.

38
Q

Fatigue Strength

A

Repeated low forces (bellow elastic limit) that bring the material to an unexpected fracture

39
Q

Number or repetitions/cycles of load recorded until fracture depending of the value of the repeated stress

A

Also Fatigue Strength

40
Q

Relating to Fatigue Strength, if material is cyclically loaded with stresses lower than this value the material will ____ _____.

A

never break.

41
Q

Define Hardness

A

ability for material to resist indentations, resistance to be scratched

42
Q

Define Abrasion

A

loss of anatomic form from surface or restoration

43
Q

Abrasion results in __ of the material

A

wear

44
Q

Wear is the ___ _______ property to be reliably measured. Depends so much on conditions in service.

A

most difficult

45
Q

Define Creep (in relation to Viscoelasticity)

A

slow deformation with time under constant stress

46
Q

Define Stress Relaxation (in relation to Viscoelasticity)

A

material constantly deformed, may show drop in stress to keep deformation with time.

47
Q

Viscoelasticity is ____ dependant.

A

TIME dependant. Viscous part is released/shown when constant stress or strain is applied for a certain period of time.

48
Q

Viscoelasticity is a combination of _____ and _____ behavior.

A

a combination of viscous and elastic behavior.

49
Q

List the Five Types of Stress

A

Tension, Compression, Sheer, Torsion Flexure/Bending

50
Q
  1. List three standard methods of measuring hardness
A

?

51
Q

A

see pic

52
Q

A

see pic

53
Q

Equation to measure Stress (Pa)

A

Force/Area = N/m2 = Pa

54
Q

Strain Problem Example:

A rod of 100mm (Li) stretched to 102mm (Lf) what is the strain

A

Change in L divided by Li

2/100 = 2%

55
Q

“what happens when a regular shaped pieve of material is placed on a testing machine and a gradually increasing load (either compressive or tensile) is applied to it?

A

Keep applying and it keeps deforming and displacing the material until the material breaks. (mechanical energy/mechanical work disforms until the response is to break).

The machine measures load/force nad displacement/change in length.
