An alternative method to obtain a strength distribution of many test p
ieces simultaneously has been proposed. In this method, the bending st
ress of all subjected samples is simultaneously increased by utilizing
their elastic modulus constancy, and the fractured sample number is m
onitored by the change in electric conductance.
