The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Composite material
  • Optics
  • X-ray

John H. Kinney spends much of his time researching Composite material, Dentin, Fracture toughness, Modulus and Dentistry. The various areas that John H. Kinney examines in his Composite material study include Cortical bone and Pulp. His Dentin research includes themes of Small-angle X-ray scattering, Mineralogy, Crystallite, Demineralization and Viscoelasticity.

His Fracture toughness research integrates issues from Ultimate tensile strength, Stress, Fracture mechanics, Toughness and Microstructure. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Young's modulus and Nanoindentation. His Dentistry research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Etching, Biomechanical Phenomena and Microscope.

His most cited work include:

  • The dentin substrate: structure and properties related to bonding. (731 citations)
  • Mechanistic fracture criteria for the failure of human cortical bone (559 citations)
  • The Mechanical Properties of Human Dentin: a Critical Review and Re-evaluation of the Dental Literature: (521 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

John H. Kinney mainly focuses on Composite material, Dentin, Microstructure, Microscopy and Cortical bone. His study in the fields of Fracture toughness, Fracture, Stress and Toughness under the domain of Composite material overlaps with other disciplines such as Toughening. His Dentin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Demineralization and Mineralogy.

John H. Kinney studied Mineralogy and Elastic modulus that intersect with Indentation, Elasticity, Biomedical engineering, Modulus and Trabecular bone. His work carried out in the field of Microscopy brings together such families of science as X-ray and Tomography. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Cortical bone, Cyclic stress is strongly linked to Fracture mechanics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Composite material (48.28%)
  • Dentin (31.03%)
  • Microstructure (13.10%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2013)?

  • Composite material (48.28%)
  • Dentin (31.03%)
  • Cortical bone (13.10%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Composite material, Dentin, Cortical bone, Fracture and Fracture toughness are his primary areas of study. His work on Toughness, Microstructure, Stress and Fracture mechanics as part of his general Composite material study is frequently connected to Toughening, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His Fracture mechanics research incorporates elements of Elasticity, Compressive strength and Cyclic stress.

His Dentin study is focused on Dentistry in general. His studies deal with areas such as Nuclear magnetic resonance, Ultraviolet and Ageing as well as Cortical bone. His research integrates issues of Fracture risk and Forensic engineering in his study of Fracture.

Between 2002 and 2013, his most popular works were:

  • Mechanistic fracture criteria for the failure of human cortical bone (559 citations)
  • The Mechanical Properties of Human Dentin: a Critical Review and Re-evaluation of the Dental Literature: (521 citations)
  • Mechanistic aspects of fracture and R-curve behavior in human cortical bone (259 citations)
