A statistical model for the brittle fracture of steel is formulated and analyzed. Fracture is assumed to occur by coalescence of a number of arrested cracks initiated at different points. The upper tail of the distribution of maximum stress is show~ to be given by the formula 1-(X/Oo)0, where (7 o a
The apparent paradox of two theories of fracture depending on whether the applied load is tensile or compressive is resolved. Although in compression, fracture seems to occur when the maximum tensile stress around a hole reaches a critical value it is suggested that fracture occurs when the crack ex
