Many papers on the statistical aspect of materials strength have been collected and reviewed by The Research Group for Statistical Aspects of Materials Strength. A book of “Statistical Aspects of Materials Strength” was written by this group, and published in 1992. Based on the experimental data compiled in this book, distribution patterns of mechanical properties are systematically surveyed paying an attention to metallic materials. Thus one can obtain the fundamental knowledge for a reliability design of mechanical structures such as the preferable distribution form and distribution parameters.
