An Inhomogeneous and Anisotropic Constitutive Model of Human Dentin
Introduetion In human dentin,microscopic tubules extend through the entire dentin with variational diameters.The peritubular dentin encircles the tubules and is characterized by its high mineral content.The intertubular dentin occupies the volume outside of peritubular dentin and contains more collagen and less mineral than the peritubular dentin.The above structural characters of dentin should lead to an inhomogeneous and anisotropic stress-strain relation of dentin.In the past years,a lot of experiments based on the microscopic structure of dentin had been done.Some attempts on theoreticallv modeling constitutive law of dentin were also presented.Here author gives an inhomogeneous and anisotropic constitutive model of human dentin,considering the difference of peri-and intertubular dentin,and compare the FEA results basing on this model with the moiréfringe testing results of Wang and Weiner(1998).
