The relationship between the two delayed failure mechanisms, specimen size and applied stress level will also be discussed. Silicon carbide slow crack growth creep Weibull statistics Osama M...

... is then calculated at each time step following continuum damage mechanics methods. Finally, Weibull statistics are used with the resulting continuity parameter to predict the reliability at each time step, through the use of the NASA-Lewis computer program CARES, interfaced to ABAQUS with ABACARES. There is very...

... dominated strength properties varied with the volume of material that was stressed, with the strength decreasing as volume increased. Transverse strength data were used in a volumetric scaling law based on Weibull statistics to predict the strength of 90° laminates loaded in three-point bending. Comparisons...
