Plastic Strain

Strain that remains in a material even after the load causing it is removed. This permanent deformation is irreversible.

What is a permanent change in shape?

Plastic strain represents a permanent deformation in a material. The material does not return to its original shape after the load is removed.

How does plastic strain differ from elastic?

Unlike elastic strain, which is temporary and recoverable, plastic strain is permanent. The material doesn't fully bounce back to its original size and shape.

Example of plastic strain?

A steel wire stretched by a load will show elastic strain initially, but if the load is high enough, it will undergo plastic strain, meaning a permanent elongation even after the load is removed.

What happens when plastic strain occurs?

When a material undergoes plastic strain, the internal structure of the material changes permanently. This usually happens when the applied stress exceeds the material's yield strength.

What is a Material's Stiffness?

A material's stiffness is its resistance to deformation when a force is applied. It's measured by its elastic moduli, such as Young's modulus, bulk modulus, and shear modulus.

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/Lâ‚€).
  • 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.
