    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.
