Introduction and Objective: Photoelasticity consists of an experimental technique of stress analysis. This technique is very used in most different areas including Dentistry. This literature review presents the several applications of photoelastic technique in Dentistry as well as its advantages and disadvantages. Literature review: Based on this method of analysis, it is possible the verificat...

Bones, particularly long ones, are among the most fascinating and intriguing materials, not only because of the complicated structure, but also because of their mechanical behavior, which is still not completely understood.Finite Element computer simulations of the modal behaviour of human femur were compared to experimental results of the resonance frequencies of actual bones, indicating that ...

Engineering techniques used to evaluate strain-stress fields, materials’ mechanical properties, and load transfer mechanisms, among others, are useful tools in the study of biomechanical applications. These engineering tools, as experimental and numerical ones, were imported to biomechanics, in particular in dental biomechanics, a few decades ago. Several experimental techniques have been used ...
