Properties of Dental Materials Flashcards
stress is blank property
mechanical
push or pull that has a magnitude and direction
force
force is measured in blank
newtons
when a force acts on a body, a blank is developed to this external force
resistance
internal reaction to the external force
stress
stress is measured in force per blank
unit area
stress hase these units
N/m^2 (Megapascals MPa)
two forces directed away from each other in a straight line
tension
load of tension tends to blank a body
stretch/elongate
two forces directed toward each other
compression
compression load blank a body
shortens
compression internal resistance is blank
compressive stress
glass is great at handling blank forces but not blank
compressive, tension
stress that is a result of two forces directed toward each other but not in the same plane
shear
most common missing tooth
first molar
complex stress example
bridge during mastication
most destructive force
shear
stress when a body undergoes deformation when a force is applied to it
strain
strain =
deformation / original length
graphical method of studying the stress strain relationship of a dental material
stress strain curve
maximum stress that a material will withstand before permanent deformation
proportional limit (elastic limit)
stress strain curve is no longer straight and is curved because new shape will never go back to old shape
plastic deformation
point of deformation is aka the blank
yield point
point at which material fractures
failure point
