Study Notes
Mechanical Properties of Materials
- Mechanical properties describe how materials behave under applied forces (loads).
- These properties relate to elastic and plastic behavior.
- The Newton (N) is the SI unit for force.
- Important quantities include force, stress, strain, strength, toughness, hardness, friction, and wear.
- These quantities help identify material properties (polymer, ceramic, metal).
- They allow understanding of failure causes.
- They enable design of dental restorations and appliances.
Stress
- Stress is force applied per unit area (F/A).
- It's the internal resistance to external forces.
- Stress formula: σ = F/A
- Units are N/m².
Types of Stress
- Compressive: Equal and opposite forces directed towards each other.
- Tensile: Equal and opposite forces directed away from each other.
- Shear: A force causing deformation, applied tangentially.
Strain
- Strain is the change in length per unit length (ΔL/L₀).
- It's a measure of deformation caused by stress.
- No units.
Types of Strain
- Elastic: Strain disappears when the load's removed.
- Plastic: Permanent strain remains after the load's removed.
Elastic Moduli
- Elastic moduli measure a material's resistance to deformation.
- Represents the ratio of stress to strain.
- Types:
- Young's modulus (measures tensile or compressive stress)
- Bulk modulus (measures volume change under uniform pressure)
- Shear modulus (measures shear stress)
Stress-Strain Behavior
- Elastic deformation: Reversible; material returns to original dimensions upon stress removal.
- Plastic deformation: Irreversible; material doesn't revert to original dimensions.
Stress-Strain Curve
- Represents the relationship between stress and strain.
- Key points:
- Proportional limit: stress is directly proportional to strain
- Elastic limit: point where material no longer behaves elastically
- Yield point: stress at which permanent deformation begins
- Ultimate tensile strength: maximum stress before fracture
- Fracture point: point at which the material fractures
Yield Stress
- Stress when a material begins to deform permanently.
- Disadvantage: permanent deformation in dental restorations can indicate functional failure.
- Advantage: useful in applications like orthodontic arch wire shaping where permanent deformation is desired.
(Ultimate) Tensile Strength
- Maximum stress a material can withstand before failure.
- Important for design, estimating permanent deformation.
Fracture Strength
- Stress at which a material fractures.
Flexibility
- Strain occurring when a material is stressed to its proportional limit.
Ductility
- Ability to deform permanently under tension without fracture.
- Decreases with increasing temperature.
- Measured by wire drawing and shaping abilities.
Malleability
- Ability to deform permanently under compression without fracture.
- Improves with temperature increase.
- Measured by hammering or rolling into thin sheets.
Brittleness
- Material behavior characterized by fracture with little deformation.
- Atomic structure resists dislocation movement.
- Ceramics are a common example.
Fatigue
- Failure under cyclic loading at lower stress compared to static loading.
- Repeated loading can weaken or damage materials over time.
Wear
- Material loss from contacting surfaces due to mechanical action.
