The crack in teeth initiates due to the flaws, defect, or inappropriate fillings design. The brittleness allows the crack to extend from any notches over the enamel due to the lower plasticity. Therefore, in this issue, linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) assumptions will be used instead of the elastic–plastic fracture mechanics (EPFM). Traditionally, the vertical crack in the teeth is predominated. The load distributions over the crown and the cyclic loading will propagate the crack. There are limited works trying to simulate the crack in the teeth. In this work, the crack path (CP) and the fracture behavior of the tooth have been simulated.

Experimental data were analyzed to find fracture properties by the compliance calibration method, the modified compliance calibration approach, and the modified beam theory. Consequently, there was a good adaptation between numerical and experimental results, obtained by the cohesive zone modeling approach and the extended finite element method, for predicting the maximum force, the energy release rate, and also the initial crack tip opening displacement, under different loading rates.

However, widespread use of AM techniques in many industries is limited by the different/unusual mechanical properties of AM metallic parts, with respect to traditionally processed ones, especially when dealing with complex fatigue loading conditions. In fact, crack formation and propagation mechanisms are mainly affected by the development of internal defects, residual stresses, and microstructural changes. This is actually one of the major issues the materials engineering community is facing today. In many applications, AM components are subjected to multiaxial fatigue loads, arising from operating conditions and/or from complex geometries, that unavoidably generate crack initiation and propagation mechanisms. The aim of this study is to investigate the multiaxial fatigue behavior of additively manufactured Ti6Al4V samples, made by SLM. Fatigue tests, combining proportional axial and torsional loads, were performed on thin-walled tubular specimens.
