title: [Normalizing method for determining the mode of crack-propagation in amalgams and composite resins].
abstract: A normalizing method for determining the mode of crack-propagation in a phase or component of a dental amalgam or composite resin was devised. The results calculated using the method were found to be satisfactory when the method was applied to the materials. Furthermore, details of the mode of crack-propagation in the materials which cannot be seen using pictures of the cross-section structure of the materials are revealed using the method.
