Hertzian contact response of dentin with loading rate and orientation

Wear behavior of light-cured dental composites filled with porous glass–ceramic particles

“…As the elastic modulus of the porous filler is available form the literature, only the contact parameters of dense filler reinforced composites were calculated. And also the other contact parameters were also calculated as defined below according to Hertzian theory (Johnson, 1987;Silva et al, 2008). Mean contact pressure:…”
