Abstract
This letter presents a focused, simulation-based investigation of the fatigue fracture behavior of human enamel and dentin, with an emphasis on stress intensity factors (SIFs) at crack tips under cyclic loading. The findings aim to contribute to a better understanding of crack propagation in biological materials using a simulator based on the Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) approach.
期刊介绍:
Fatigue & Fracture of Engineering Materials & Structures (FFEMS) encompasses the broad topic of structural integrity which is founded on the mechanics of fatigue and fracture, and is concerned with the reliability and effectiveness of various materials and structural components of any scale or geometry. The editors publish original contributions that will stimulate the intellectual innovation that generates elegant, effective and economic engineering designs. The journal is interdisciplinary and includes papers from scientists and engineers in the fields of materials science, mechanics, physics, chemistry, etc.
