Abstract
Bending deformation has been measured for orthodontic wires ranging in diameter from .010 to .051 inch. Results establish a revised expression for Young's modulus and show that either the stiffness tester or the torque meter will yield essentially the same measured values of bending properties. The dependence of test span length in determining Young's modulus and flexural yield strength is discussed.Keywords
