Abstract
Composite materials show significant variability in strength, which me ans that statistical effects need to be considered when predicting fai lure. Experimental results are presented which show decreasing strengt h with increasing stressed volume of material. Approaches accounting f or this in predicting strength using Weibull statistics are discussed.
