Investigation of probabilistic aspects reliability of isotropic bodies with internal defects

A study of the stress state and reliability of an isotropic body with the same material crack resistance and evenly distributed internal defects-cracks under the conditions of homogeneous axisymmetric loading is carried out. Defects are characterized by two independent random variables – a radius and orientation angle. The probability density distribution of the defect radius is chosen in the form of an exponential law. The probability density distribution of the defect orientation angle is chosen in the form of a law that corresponds to the material isotropy. The influence of the loading level, type of stress state and body size (number of defects) on the most probable value, the mean value and the dispersion of failure loading (strength) are investigated.
