Original Abstract

The nonlocal generalization of Weibull theory previously developed for structures that are either notched or fail only after the formation of a large crack is extendedto predict the probability of failure of unnotched structures that reach the maximum load before a large crack forms, as is typical of the test of modulus of rupture (flexural strength).
