Dental interfaces are subject to mixed-mode loading. This study provides practical guidance for determining interfacial fracture toughness of dental ceramic systems. We address interfacial fracture of a composite resin ...

Objectives: To evaluate different direct restoration techniques on various cavity designs in anterior endodontically treated teeth (ETT). Materials and methods: Ninety upper central incisors (n = 90) were selected, ...

The presence of natural fractures in a porous medium strongly influences the fluid flow path. The complex geometric characteristics of the fracture network create preferential channels that change the permeability of the ...

Carbon fiber/epoxy matrix composites produced by resin transfer molding (RTM) were investigated in order to define the influence of interfacial adhesion on mechanical and thermal properties. The adhesion was studied through ...

The adoption of carbon/glass fiber hybrid composites is an economical alternative to high-cost carbon/epoxy composites and helps to address environmental issues. However, the addition of another type of fiber modifies the ...

This study aimed to analyze different methodologies (tensile, microtensile, shear, microshear, and interfacial toughness) for evaluation of the bond strength between zirconia (Y-TZP) and resin cement. Zirconia ceramic ...

A general numerical tool for the analysis of three–dimensional bimaterial interface cracks is presented in this paper. The proposed tool is based on a multidomain formulation of the Boundary Element Method (BEM), with the ...
