Summary

The effects of notches on the tensile strength of brittle materials were determined experimentally, and the Weibull volume theory was used in conjunction with Neubar stress distributions to examine the results. The experimental portion was performed on a gas-bearing tensile facility. The primary materials used was hot pressed alumina made by AVCO. The effects of notches on graphite were also investigated to a lesser degree.
