Bearing stress is defined as the stress that results from the contact of two members. The equation to determine average bearing stress would be sigmab = P/A where P is the force applied to the member, and A is the contact area of the object resisting the force. The SI unit for bearing stress is Newton/meter2 which equates to Pascals (Pa). The US units for bearing stress are either lb/in2 which equates to pounds per square inch (psi) or kips/in2 Which equals kips per square inch (ksi).

Which is the secondary stress bearing areas of mandibular denture?

According to Anthony LP primary stress bearing areas of mandibular denture is the alveolar ridges and secondary stress bearing area is the superior part of mylohyoid ridge. however as Hayakawa noted in poor cases whereas ridges are flat, the sole area of resistance to occlusal forces is the buccal shelf area.


How do you calculate diameter bearing from reaction force?

To calculate the diameter of a bearing required to withstand a given reaction force, you need to consider factors such as the material properties, bearing design, and load distribution. It involves calculating the stress on the bearing and ensuring it stays within the allowable stress limit for the material used. It is recommended to consult engineering handbooks or software for specific calculations tailored to the bearing and loading conditions.

How does weight-bearing influence the bone repair process what effect does weight bearing have on orientation of the haversian system?

Weight-bearing stimulates bone remodeling by creating mechanical stress which activates osteoblasts and osteoclasts to build and resorb bone in areas of stress. Weight-bearing influences the orientation of the Haversian system by causing the deposition of bone tissue along lines of stress, aligning the Haversian canals parallel to the direction of mechanical load to increase bone strength and adaptation to stress.


What is the definition of safe bearing capacity?

In geotechnical engineering, bearing capacity is the maximum vertical stress that the ground surface (or any other subsurface strata that the vertical stress may act upon) can support without significant settlement or foundation failure.
