REVIEW OF STRUCTURAL DESIGN TECHNIQUES FOR BRITTLE COMPONENTS UNDER STATIC LOADS. VOLUME 2

Abstract

A systematic review of structural design techniques for brittle materials is conducted with particular emphasis on statistical fracture theories. The properties of both series and parallel statistical models are discussed, and a critical analysis is given for the experimental data which is available in the literature. The relationship of extreme value statistics to the fracture problem is thoroughly exploited. A survey of brittle test specimens and design rules-of-thumb is included, together with a number of very promising design philosophies.
