## Abstract The main objective of this study was to measure the fracture toughness of the human teeth enamel using the microindentation technique and to compare the results calculated from the equations developed for Palmqvist and radialβmedian cracks. Vickers microhardness measurements of dental c

Diametral compression of a grooved, disc shaped specimen is used to determine fracture toughness. This method's most important features are that extremely small specimens can be used and no knowledge of material properties is needed. It is suitable for many brittle materials, e.g. glass, cemented ca
This study assessed the effectiveness of finite element analysis in predicting the stress intensity factor (Klc) for three types of dental materials: a glass ionomer, a dental amalgam, and a composite resin. Laboratory tests were conducted on small single-edge notch specimens loaded in three-point b
This paper presents further studies to determine the interface toughness of low-k films (black diamond (BD) film) using wedge indentation experiments and analysis. In addition, the effects of film thickness on the delamination mode are studied and an analysis methodology is proposed. The curvature o
With regard to the determination of the radial fracture toughness of Zr-Nb pressure tube material, using a curved bend specimen machined from a pressure tube, a theoretical analysis shows that one can use the same relation to give the initiation J value as is used for pure bending of a small remaini
