Stress Concentration

“Lines of force” in a bar with a side notch. The direction and density of the lines indicate the direction and magnitude of stress in the bar under a uniform stress σ away from the notch. There is a concentration of the lines of force at the tip of the notch.

Weibull Plots for Steel and Two Alumina samples

Weibull plots for a steel, a conventional alumina, and a controlled-particle-size (CPS) alumina. Note that the slope (Weibull modulus m)→∞ for steel. For CPS alumina, m is double that of conventional alumina. (After E. J. Kubel, Adv. Mater. Proc., Aug (1988) 25.)
