It is shown that simulated maximum failure probability density distributions can well describe the experimental data of biaxial tests on OFG, CVD-ZnSe and a-plane sapphire ceramics. The conclusion is made that the competitive advantage of these materials grows in proportion to their distribution widths.</p> ER -
