Abstract
The strength distribution of Zerodur® (Schott AG) prepared by grinding and etching is determined through statistical analysis to be best described as normal. Although a 3-parameter Weibull appearance is exhibited when multiple specimen batches are combined and analyzed together, this appearance is the result of mixing of components of variation. As a result of the particular type of flaw population, little effect of scale is exhibited. Caution is advised when assuming a 3-parameter Weibull distribution and associated threshold solely based on distribution shape. Fractography to understand the flaw distribution should be employed.
