Study Notes
Stress Terms
- Proportional Limit: Maximum stress without deviation from linear relationship between stress and strain.
- Elastic Limit: Threshold stress where material deforms elastically without permanent changes.
- Yield Strength: Stress level where permanent deformation begins.
- Ultimate Strength: Highest stress a material withstands without fracture; categorized into ultimate tensile strength (tension) and ultimate compressive strength (compression).
- Breaking Point: Point of material fracture, potentially occurring below ultimate strength due to necking.
Mechanical Properties
- Modulus of Elasticity (Young's Modulus): Ratio of stress to strain, indicating material stiffness and rigidity, derived from the slope of the stress-strain curve.
B-Strain Terms
- Flexibility: Elastic strain relative to the proportional limit.
- Ductility: Ability to stretch into wires under tension post-yield without breaking.
- Malleability: Capability to deform into sheets under compression after yield.
- Brittleness: Minimal plastic deformation, fracturing close to the proportional limit. Examples include amalgam and porcelain.
Energy Terms
- Resilience: Energy necessary to deform a material up to its proportional limit, represented by the area under the elastic segment of the stress-strain curve.
- Toughness: Total energy required to reach fracture, indicated by the entire area under both elastic and plastic sections of the stress-strain curve.
Stress-Strain Relationship Diagram
- Stress Formula: ( \sigma = \frac{F}{A} ).
- Rigidity: Initial curve section demonstrating material's strength and resistance to deformation.
- Elasticity: Later curve section showing permanent deformation capability.
- Temporary Strain: Reversible deformation that resets post-stress; identifies materials as flexible or stiff.
- Permanent Strain: Irreversible deformation indicating ductility or brittleness.
Different Stress-Strain Graphs
- (a) Shows rigid, strong, tough, and ductile properties.
- (b) Demonstrates flexibility and toughness.
- (c) Rigid, strong, and brittle.
- (d) Rigid, weak, and brittle.
- (e) Exhibits flexibility.
Importance of Studying Mechanical Properties
- Essential for understanding restorative materials' performance against chemical, thermal, and mechanical stresses in oral environments.
- Aids in recognizing property differences among various materials (polymers, ceramics, metals).
- Supports failure analysis and selection/design of dental restorations and appliances.
- Promotes laboratory testing standardization for materials.
Definitions
- Mechanical Properties: Material's ability to endure mechanical stresses during use.
- Force: Action leading to motion from a rest position.
- Stress: Internal material reaction to external force; calculated as ( \sigma = \frac{F}{A} ).
Types of Stress
- Tensile Stress: Occurs when forces pull apart along a straight line.
- Compressive Stress: Occurs when forces push towards each other in a straight line.
- Shearing Stress: Arises when forces act towards each other, but not along a straight path.
- Complex Stresses: Result from combinations of tensile, compressive, and shearing stresses.
Strain
- Definition: Change in length per unit length as a result of applied stress.
- Formula for Strain: ( \varepsilon = \frac{(L1 - L0)}{L0} ).
- Temporary (Elastic) Strain: Returns to original shape post-stress, indicating flexibility.
- Permanent (Plastic) Strain: Does not return to original shape, indicating ductility.
Stress-Strain Measurement
- Deformation measured under tensile, compressive, or shear loading using a universal testing machine.
- Outputs include stress (load) versus strain (elongation) relationships, forming stress-strain graphs.
