26
Q

fatigue can be caused by 2 things?

A

1) cyclic loading

2) steady loading + chemically active agent

27
Q

cyclic loading is due to what?

A

crack growth

28
Q

stress intensity factor (K) is based on what?

A
  • applied stress
  • crack length
  • geometry
29
Q

first part of cyclic loading is what?

A

initiation, due to shear forces, needs to pass a threshold

30
Q

second part of cyclic loading is what?

A

growth, due to tension, propagation of the crack

31
Q

third part of cyclic loading is what?

A

unstable growth, very rapid crack leading to failure

two types of chain growth poly

A

1) free radical polymerization

2) ring opening polymerization

46
Q

monomer and RS for free radical poly

A

monomer: double bond with vinyl group

amine (initiator) called DMAEMA

51
Q

what happens with light curing
