Mechanical Properties Dr. Kenitoni Nau Mechanical Properties Defined by the law of mechanics, that is the physical science that deals with ‘Energy and Forces’ with their effect on all materials Useful to examine how a material reacts under certain conditions. Helps to predict material’s usefulness as a restorative material. Mechanical Properties cont…. Developed some concept on the causes of fracture in restorative materials and how to avoid it. To be able to diagnose potential causes of clinical failures whether caused by material deficiencies, operator’s negligence or patient factor. 1. Three Basic Forces 1. Tensile Force that pulls an object apart. Object pulled by this force is under tension 2. Compression Force that squeezes an object together. Such an object is under compression 3. Shear Force that slides the top of the object over the bottom e.g. deck of cards on the table. Intra-oral Biting Forces Greatest in the molar area – 580 Newtons. (132lbs) Premolars – 310 Newtons. (70.5lbs) Cuspids – 220 Newtons. (41lbs) Partial and Complete Dentures – 111 Newtons. (25lbs) Stress and Strain Why is it important ???? Description of stress and strain and their related properties are of immediate importance to a discussion of Strength What is stress ??? Stress Force per unit area applied to a material When a force is applied to an object, Stress is generated within the material in response to the external force When stress exceeds the cohesive strengths of the object, the object breaks Stress cont… For any force ; the smaller area over which force is applied, the larger the value of stress Stress = Force / Area (lbs/sq.inch) Stress cont… Such a deformation is said to be elastic (recoverable) eg. Simply a statement of Hooke’s Law Hook’s Law Hook’s Law Hook’s Law is obeyed for an object, a graph plot of stress versus strain yields a straight line ( as in elastic deformation force) Hook’s Law Str
