Particle Strengths: Extreme Value Distributions in Fracture
A holistic and straightforward analysis framework for understanding particle strength distributions
A thorough exploration of the science and related engineering of fracture strength distributions of single particles tested in diametral compression. Explains particle strengths in the broader context of material strengths to permit readers to design with particles in systems in which mechanical properties are crucial to application, manufacturing, and handling.
Particle Strengths compiles published data on particle strengths into a common format that includes over 140 materials systems and over 270 published strength distributions derived from over 13000 individual particle strength measurements. It offers physically consistent descriptions of strength behavior, including the strength threshold, using simple polynomial distribution functions that are easily implemented.
