Q

Fun Fact about Yield Strength…

A

The exact point at which permanent deformation occurs is difficult to detect precisely so an arbitrary amount of deformation is chosen which can be measured accurately. Displayed as B on the graph.

26
Toughness is the combination of \_\_\_, \_\_\_, and \_\_\_.
Yield Strength, Ultimate Strength and Strain
27
\_\_\_ characterizes the behavior of materials with cracks or flaws.
Fracture mechanics
28
Defects generally ___ a material and may result in fractures at stresses well below the yield stress. This occurs more in ___ materials that have no ability to deform and redistribute stresses.
weaken brittle
29
Because tensile properties of ___ materials are hard to measure the ___ test is used.
brittle Diametral Compression
30
\_\_\_\_ is useful for comparing materials that are brittle and generally weak in tension. These materials will have both elastic and plastic properties but the ___ response is small.
Compression strength plastic
31
\_\_\_ is the stress at which a material fails under repeated loading This depends on the ___ of the load and the ___ of loadings.
Fatigue Strength magnitude, number
32
\_\_\_ is the stress at which the material can be loaded an infinite number of times without failing.
Endurance Limit
33
Regarding viscoelasticity, Rate of ___ is important for many materials. Some properties of these are dependent on how fast they are stressed. Increasing the loading rate produces different S/S curves with ___ rates giving ___ values for E, PL, US
loading higher, higher

49
Between Yield Strength and Ultimate Strength, which is of more importance in dentistry and why?
Yield Strength may be of greater importance than Ultimate Strength in dentistry because it is an estimate of when a material will start to deform permanently.
