The equations of balance of momentum and energy usually are formulated under the
assumption of conservation of mass. However, mass is not conserved when sources of mass …

Polymerization shrinkage stress of resin-based materials have been related to several
unwanted clinical consequences, such as enamel crack propagation, cusp deflection …

Nanocomposites containing 2D materials have attracted much attention due to their
potential for enhancing electrical, magnetic, optical, mechanical, and thermal properties. 2D …

We provide an overview of the basic concepts of scaling and dimensional analysis, followed
by a review of some of the recent work on applying these concepts to modeling instrumented …

The work done during indentation is examined using dimensional analysis and finite
element calculations for conical indentation in elastic-plastic solids with work hardening. An …

The paper briefly describes major thermal spray techniques used to spray functionally
graded coatings such as atmospheric plasma spraying, high velocity oxy-fuel spraying …

Conventional quasi-static and dynamic test methods have a number of limitations when
used to measure the mechanical properties of enamel and dentine. These are due to the …

Photoactive perovskite semiconductors are highly tunable, with numerous inorganic and
organic cations readily incorporated to modify optoelectronic properties. However, despite …

The ultra-low load indentation response of ceramic single crystal surfaces (Al2O3, SiC, Si)
has been studied with a software-controlled hardness tester (Nanoindenter) operating in the …

The elastic moduli and Vickers hardness of porous 3Y-TZP ceramics have been measured
and related to a computed model. At the low porosity level (less than 8%), the spherical …
