Fracture toughness and critical strain energy release rate of dental amalgam
نویسنده
چکیده
Fracture toughness, critical strain energy release rate and critical stress intensity factor were determined for lathe-cut, spherical, admixed, and two atomized high-copper dental amalgams. At a loading rate of 0.005cm min -1 for 24-hour samples, the spherical amalgam had the highest resistance to unstable crack propagation. At a loading rate of 0.05 cm min -1 for both 24-hour and one-month samples, the lathe-cut amalgam had the highest resistance to unstable crack propagation. One of the atomized high copper amalgams showed the lowest resistance to crack propagation. The values were consistent with data obtained in single-pass wear studies.

In this study, a novel numerical method is proposed for determination of mode-I interlaminar fracture toughness, GIc, in multi-directional (MD) double cantilever beam (DCB) specimens using fracture properties of unidirectional DCB specimens. Two factors, β and Dc are defined to minimize the undesirable effects on strain energy release rate. β describes the difference between maximum and average...

Fracture toughness, critical strain energy release rate, and critical stress intensity factor were determined for experimental and commercial restorative resins. A composite resin had lower resistance to crack initiation than an unfilled acrylic resin. The data were consistent with surface failure observed in single-pass wear studies of these resins.

Fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) molding compounds with micromechanic requirements for fiber lengths longer than critical length (Lc) are now the most important breakthrough in Dentistry since the amalgam. The Lc is a measure of the minimum perfectly aligned fiber length dimension needed before maximum fiber stress transfer starts to occur within the cured resin [1-3]. Mechanical properties tes...
