Energetic–statistical size effect simulated by SFEM with stratified sampling and crack band model (2007, methodology): “Unfortunately, these simulations have been carried out before a parallel study [16, 17] showed that the specimens tested were not large enough to allow application of the classical Weibull theory, in which the RVE size is assumed to be negligible.”
The Lower Bound for Glass Strength and Its Interpretation with Generalized Weibull Statistics for Structural Applications (2016, background): “In addition, the three-parameter Weibull distribution would indeed contradict a wealth of literature (Bažant and Pang 2007; Le and Bažant 2011; Salviato and Bažant 2014), which showed that, without left truncation, the probability of the left tail should follow a power law.”
Unified nano-mechanics based probabilistic theory of quasibrittle and brittle structures: I. Strength, static crack growth, lifetime and scaling (2011, methodology): “The previous analytical proof of the additivity of power-law tail exponents of the cdf of bundle strength (or parallel coupling) model (Bažant and Pang, 2006, 2007) was restricted to perfectly brittle and perfectly ductile elements.”
