Funded Activity Summary

Failure modes in ceramic-based layer structures: Relevance to failure of dental crowns. With the aging of our population, issues concerning the lifetime of biological system are paramount to the quality of life and economic well being of our society. This project is closely linked to the development of prosthetic materials and structures that will improve performance and life of biomechanical devices, by providing better understanding to the mechanics of failure and failure origins of ceramic-based dental crowns and restorations, and to develop materials that will withstand exacting conditions - in body fluids - over extended lifetimes. Crown replacement is by far the most widespread of all prosthetic procedures. This project promises to help bridge the gap between physical and medical science in Australia.
