A Study on the Strain-Rate- and Stress-State-Dependent Behavior of Advanced Ceramics: Experimental Mechanics and Multiscale Simulations
DownloadFall 2024
Design and development of better-performing ceramic structures are vital in industry-driven applications where a wide range of strain rates and stress states are induced in the material (e.g., impact events). Accordingly, this thesis investigates the strain-rate and stress-state-dependent...

Characterising Three Dimensional Deformations and Strains of Orthodontic Archwires under Torsion
DownloadFall 2020
In orthodontics, braces are commonly used to correct dental misalignments. Third-order torque refers to the application of torsion to correct angular inclinations of teeth. Its application involves the use of a twisted archwire inside of an orthodontic bracket to generate the required forces and...

Evaluating the Biomechanics of Tooth Movement induced through Orthodontic Braces using an Integrated Clinical and Mechanical Approach
DownloadSpring 2024
Orthodontics is the dental specialization focused on correcting tooth and jaw misalignments. The treatment is known to have positive effects on the quality of life of the public by improving personal aesthetics and oral health. A common fixed treatment option is orthodontic braces, composed of...

The Evaluation of Using in-Fibre Bragg Grating Sensors Within a Periodontal Ligament Space for Strain Measurement
DownloadSpring 2021
The Periodontal Ligament (PDL) is a soft connective tissue that anchors the tooth to the surrounding alveolar bone, forming a tooth-PDL-bone complex (TPBC). The PDL demonstrates nonlinear, viscoelastic, anisotropic, and heterogeneous mechanical material properties that facilitate in protection...
