Abstract

A statistical strength criterion for brittle materials under static and repeated loadings is proposed. The criterion relates beginning of a macrofracture in the form of origination of microcracks to the moment at which the microcrack density in the material becomes critical. The idea of the criterion consists in identification of the values of microdefect concentration under static and repeated loadings with the value of microdefect concentration which is held in the case of fracture under uniaxial static loading. It is assumed that the microcrack concentration defines the life of structures made of brittle materials. The numerical example of practical use of the criterion under consideration is presented.
