... to handle high stress gradients. The theory considers variable equivalent stress intensity factors along the faces of cracks; hence, it considers the strength of a specimen to be dependent on the stress field. 10 04 2006 03 09 2007 21 12 2007 failure (mechanical) Weibull distribution...

... is a function of m but is independent of structure size and shape, provided that, as usual, the strength threshold is taken as zero (although the Weibull distribution with a finite threshold would give a size dependent ω , it is known that data histograms are generally fitted equally well...

...Prakash Chandra Gope A method for determination of minimum sample size required to estimate the fatigue life has been presented. No functional relationship between stress and fatigue life other than log normal and Weibull distribution function of fatigue life has been assumed. The method is based...
