    This document discusses the basic properties of elastic materials used for orthodontic arch wires, including stress, strain, strength, proportional limit, yield strength, modulus of elasticity, spring back, stiffness, and range. It explains that stress is the internal distribution of load defined as force per unit area, while strain is the internal distortion produced by load defined as deflection per unit length. The angle of the slope of the stress-strain curve gives the modulus of elasticity of the wire. Wires with higher stiffness require more force to bend and have a steeper stress-strain curve, while wires with lower stiffness like nickel-titanium have greater elasticity and a slope closer to horizontal.

    The Basic Properties of Elastic
    Materials
     Stress (force)
    The internal distribution of
    the load, defined as
    force per unit area

     Strain (deflection)
    The internal distortion
    produced by the load,
    defined as deflection per
    unit length

    05/07/20
    The Basic Properties of Elastic
    Materials
     Strength Strength = stiffness x range

    The maximum load that


    the material can resist
     Proportional limit (PL):
    point at which permanent
    deformation is first
    observed
     Yield strength (YS): point
    at which deformation of
    0.1% is measured

    The angle of the slope gives the modulus of


    elasticity (E) of the wire

    05/07/20
    Spring back (elastic recovery)
     Distance wire bends elastically before permanent
    deformation

     Depends on yield point and E


     ↑in NiTi,↓in SS

    • Wires with↓stiffness have↑elasticity


    • Their slope is close to horizontal 05/07/20
     When the EL is
    exceeded, permanent
    deformation of the wire
    occurs

     When the UTS is


    reached, the molecular
    structure of the wire is
    broken down and the
    wire fails

    05/07/20
    Stiffness
    Reciprocal of springiness
    High in SS, low in NiTi

    * Wires with↑stiffness show a steeper slope

    *↑ force is required to bend them

    05/07/20
    Range

    A measure of how far a wire can be bent


    without exceeding the limits of the material, or
    how far a wire can potentially move a tooth by
    a single adjustment; assuming the force was
    adequate

    05/07/20
    Range

     The distance that the


    wire will bend elastically
    before permanent
    deformation occurs

     The wires with↑working


    range are those that can
    work for long periods
    with a single activation*

    e.g. Superelastic NiTi and TMA wires (Titanium-molybdenum alloy)

    05/07/20
    Range

     If the wire is deflected


    beyond its YS, it will not
    return to its original
    shape

     Clinically useful spring


    back will occur unless
    the FP is reached
