This study aimed at investigating the effects of the post material properties on the maximum stress in the root and maximum deformation of the restorative system. Effects of material properties of fiber post on the maximum equivalent stress in the root and the maximum deformation of the restorative system were numerically investigated. Results show that the maximum equivalent stress in the root can be decreased by 8.3% and the maximum deformation of the restorative system decreased by 10% compared with corresponding maximum values if changing Young’s modulus, Shear modulus and Poisson’s ratio in the range studied here. The maximum equivalent stress in the root is more sensitive to Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio while the deformation of the restorative system is more seriously affected by the Shear modulus of the post material.

A great deal of engineering effort is focused on changing mechanical material properties by creating microstructural architectures instead of modifying chemical composition. This results in meta-materials, which can exhibit properties not found in natural materials and can be tuned to the needs of the user. To change Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus, many current designs exploit mechanisms and hinges to obtain the desired behavior. However, this can lead to nonlinear material properties and anisotropy, especially for large strains. In this work, we propose a new material design that makes use of curved leaf springs in a planar lattice. First, analytical ideal springs are employed to establish sufficient conditions for linear elasticity, isotropy, and a zero Poisson's ratio. Additionally, Young's modulus is directly related to the spring stiffness. Second, a design method from the literature is employed to obtain a spring, closely matching the desired properties. Next, numerical simulations of larger lattices show that the expectations hold, and a feasible material design is presented with an in-plane Young's modulus error of only 2% and Poisson's ratio of 2.78×10−3. These properties are isotropic and linear up to compressive and tensile strains of 0.12. The manufacturability and validity of the numerical model is shown by a prototype.

This work presents a methodology implementing random packing of spheres combined with commercial finite element method (FEM) software to optimize the material properties, such as Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio, coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of two-phase materials used in electronic packaging. The methodology includes an implementation of a numerical algorithm of random packing of spheres and a technique for creating conformal FEM mesh of a large aggregate of particles embedded in a medium. We explored the random packing of spheres with different diameters using particle generation algorithms coded in MATLAB. The FEM meshes were generated using MATLAB and TETGEN. After importing the nodes and elements databases into commercial FEM software ANSYS, the composite materials with spherical fillers and the polymer matrix were modeled using ANSYS. The effective Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio, and CTE along different axes were calculated using ANSYS by applying proper loading and boundary conditions. It was found that the composite material was virtually isotropic. The Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio calculated by FEM models were compared to a number of analytical solutions in the literature. For low volume fraction of filler content, the FEM results and analytical solutions agree well. However, for high volume fraction of filler content, there is some discrepancy between FEM and analytical models and also among the analytical models themselves.

The longitudinal and shear wave velocities in a polycrystalline sample of magnesium thorium alloy were measured by a pulse transmission technique as a function of temperature. Temperatures ranged from 25 C to about 350 deg C for longitudinal wave measurements and to about 220 deg C for shear measurements. The resulting velocity data were used to calculate various elastic properties of the material, including Young’s modulus, shear modulus, bulk modulus, and Poisson’s ratio. The resulting least squares fits for these data are: Longitudinal velocity, cl = 5.749 − 3.987 × 10−4T − 1.139 × 10−6T2mm/μsec; shear velocity, ct = 3.108 − 1.421 × 10−4T − 2.588 × 10−6T2mm/μsec; bulk modulus, B = 3.576 × 10″ − 2.744 × 107T + 1.187 × 105T2 dynes/cm2; Young’s modulus, E = 4.435 × 10″ − 1.415 × 107T = 6.037 × 105T2 dynes/cm2; shear modulus, G = 1.716 × 10″ − 7.994 × 106T − 2.619 × 105T2 dynes/cm2; Poisson’s ratio, σ = 0.293 − 6.459 × 10−6T + 3.392 × 10−7T2.
