Abstract:The authors have proposed a simple model that predicts dental composites' (small glass particle composites) elastic moduli very well. The fit of this model to other small particle composite materials is demonstrated in this paper to be the best of the current models. With volume filler fractions varying from 0 to 1, and Ef/Em ratios from 670,000 to approximately 1.7, this paper compares results from the literature to the various models. The models analysed are, iso-strain, iso-stress, Hashin-Shtrikman's upper … Show more
