Probability distribution of energetic-statistical size effect in quasibrittle fracture
The physical sources of randomness in quasibrittle fracture described by the cohesive crack model are discussed and theoretical arguments for the basic form of the probability distribution are presented. The probability distribution of the size effect on the nominal strength of structures made of heterogeneous quasibrittle materials is derived, under certain simplifying assumptions, from the no...
متن کاملProbabilistic modeling of quasibrittle fracture and size effect
Progress in structural design requires probabilistic modeling of quasibrittle fracture, which is typical of concrete, fiber composites, rocks, toughened ceramics, sea ice and many ‘high tech’ materials. The most important consequence of quasibrittle behavior is a deterministic (energetic) size effect, the theory of which evolved near the end of last century. After a review of the background, th...
متن کاملRevision of Reliability Concepts for Quasibrittle Structures and Size Effect on Probability Distribution of Structural Strength
The paper demonstrates the need for a fundamental revision of reliability concepts and design codes for quasibrittle heterogeneous structures, such as concrete structures failing due to concrete fracture or crushing (rather than reinforcement yielding), or large load-bearing fiber-composite structures for ships or aircraft, sea ice plates, etc. While ductile failure occurs simultaneously along ...
متن کاملSize effect on probability distribution of fatigue lifetime of quasibrittle structures
The design of various engineering structures, such as buildings, infrastructure, aircraft, ships, as well as microelectronic components and medical implants, must ensure an extremely low probability of failure (such as 10 6) during their service lifetime. Such a low probability is beyond the means of histogram testing. Therefore, one must rely on some physically based probabilistic model for th...
متن کاملQuasibrittle Size Effect : Problems and Progress
Qualitatively proposed by Mariotte and mathematically formulated by Weibull, the statistical theory of size effect reigned supreme until the 1980s. However, beginning in 1976, a different, nonstatistical theory of size effect gradually emerged and was shown to be important for brittle heterogeneous materials, concisely termed “quasibrittle”, which include concrete, fiber composites, sea ice, ro...
