TY - JOUR PY - 1985// TI - Determination of crack size distributions from incomplete data sets for the calculation of failure probabilities JO - Reliability engineering A1 - Brückner, A. A1 - Häberer, R. A1 - Munz, D. SP - 191 EP - 202 VL - 11 IS - 4 N2 - Starting from simulated histograms of typical crack size distributions the difficulties in attributing a unique distribution function to a specific histogram are investigated. A curve-fitting procedure, which can be employed for the calculation of failure probabilities in probabilistic fracture mechanics, is established.
