Abstract:

A study of the effect of material gradient on the performance of a functionally graded endodontic prefabricated parallel post (FGEPPP) is the main goal of the current study. Elastic modulus (E) of FGEPPP is considered to vary continuously from lower to upper surfaces. This variation is performed according the volume fraction. Based on a modified sigmoid function, the volume fraction will be defined in the present work. The primary goal of the current investigation is to analyze the difference between the performance of a homogeneous endodontic prefabricated parallel post (EPPP) and a FGEPPP through finite element analysis (FEA). In the current investigation, von Mises stress, and shear stress in FGEPPP case with a modified sigmoid function and in homogeneous EPPP case are carried out. After that, the effect of material gradient on the performance of an EPPP made of FGM was carried out through FEA in the current investigation. The simulation cases shown that, the maximum values of von Mises stress, and shear stress increase when increasing the value of “D”, and decrease when increasing the value of “w”.
