The purpose of this study was to determine the fracture toughness (K(IC)) of human dentin and to test the null hypothesis that K(IC) is not affected by the orientation of dentinal tubules relative to the plane of crack propagation. Triangular prisms (4 x 4 x 4 x 8 mm) were obtained from human molars

Analytical modeling and experimental testing are used to evaluate the fracture toughness of plain concrete. The analytical modeling of the fracture toughness considers both the opening of the crack due to the applied external loads and the closing of the crack due to the interlock pressure of the ag
Lamination occurs spontaneously in the transverse direction in many commercially available steel plates, if the transverse stresses are sufficiently high. Previous investigations have indicated that lamination is often accompanied by an improvement in the fracture toughness of the plate material. In
## Abstract The vital first phase of the overall materials study to protract the life of the total joint replacements is the identification of the fracture toughness and fatigue properties of bone cements. Information gained from fatigue testing, performed in a manner which simulates __in vivo__ co
Based on two microscopic failure models, the maximum tension stress criterion and damage criterion, the relationships of the scaling parameters of elastic-plastic stress fields for HRR field and different specimens were established in this paper. The two-fold applications of the relationships were e
