Lecture

Statistical Mechanical Resistance: Ceramics

Description

This lecture discusses the statistical mechanical resistance of materials, focusing on ceramics. It covers the distribution of defects like microcracks, the Weibull statistic for quantifying mechanical strength, and the stable cracking behavior in compression. The Weibull distribution is used to characterize the breaking stress of fragile materials, and the lecture explains how to calculate the probability of failure based on the distribution of defects.
