On the possibility of estimating the fracture toughness of enamel

Highlights • The energetic approach methodology is used to estimate the K C of bovine enamel. • Alternative energetic methodology has been developed to estimate K C of the enamel. • The method is based on the contact stiffness evolution during the cracking process. • The K C values are compared with...

Description
Summary:Highlights • The energetic approach methodology is used to estimate the K C of bovine enamel. • Alternative energetic methodology has been developed to estimate K C of the enamel. • The method is based on the contact stiffness evolution during the cracking process. • The K C values are compared with those obtained using others methodologies.
