โฆ Synopsis
Three dental composite materials were tested in three-point bending to determine fracture toughness using the stress intensity factor approach. Finite element analysis was used to model the specimens and the fracture toughness was calculated using the J integral and crack closure methods. The effects of tension, compression, and tension-compression moduli on the fracture toughness are presented and discussed. For each material, the plain strain J integral results were independent of Young's modulus. Crack closure results were found to be very sensitive to the type of mesh used to define the Au/a ratio at the crack tip. The results from J integral and crack closure methods were in good agreement with experimental data for the three dental composites considered.
