Study Notes
Mechanical Properties
- Mechanical properties describe how materials behave under force or load.
- Force produces or tends to produce a change in a body's position, movement, or shape.
- Force is characterized by magnitude, speed (static/dynamic), point of application, and direction.
- Stress is the internal reaction to an external force, equal in intensity and opposite in direction to the applied force.
- Stress is calculated as force per unit area.
- Deformation is the distortion produced by stress within a material.
- Strain is the change in length per unit length, calculated as deformation/original length.
- Strain can be elastic (reversible) or plastic (permanent).
- Elastic strain involves stretching without breaking chemical bonds between atoms.
- Plastic strain involves the breaking and formation of new bonds, causing permanent changes in atomic arrangement.
- The elastic limit is the maximum stress a material can withstand without permanent deformation.
- The proportional limit is the point where stress becomes non-proportional to strain.
- The yield strength is the stress at which a small amount of permanent strain occurs.
- Ultimate strength is the maximum stress a material can withstand before failure.
- Fracture strength is the stress at which a material breaks.
- Malleability is the ability of a material to be deformed under compressive force without fracture.
- Ductility is the ability of a material to be drawn into wires without fracture.
- Percent elongation measures the maximum amount of permanent deformation a material can exhibit.
- Brittle materials exhibit little plastic deformation and fracture near the proportional limit.
- Ductile materials exhibit large amounts of plastic deformation and fracture after significant deformation.
- Resilience is the energy required to deform a material to its proportional limit, represented by the area under the elastic portion of the stress-strain curve.
- Toughness is the energy required to break a material, represented by the area under the entire stress-strain curve.
- Toughest materials have high proportional limits and good ductility.
- Brittle materials are generally not tough.
Clinically Relevant Properties
- Orthodontic wires require high resilience for gradual tooth movement.
- Restorations should not be subjected to stresses exceeding their yield strength to avoid permanent deformation.
- Malleable materials facilitate shaping into sheets, while ductile materials are suitable for drawing into wires.
Other Important Concepts
- Shear stresses are generated within a material when forces are applied parallel to the surface.
- Torsional stress and transverse stress are generated in specific loading conditions.
- Necking is localized reduction in cross-sectional area at the fracture site, often observed in ductile materials.
- Dental gold alloys are typically ductile, while nickel-chromium alloys are considered brittle.
- Dental amalgam, cements, and ceramics are generally considered brittle materials.
