Weibull Modulus and Characteristic Strength Values for Bending Bars

Patrick Schmidt published this dataset on figshare in June 2026. It contains calculated Weibull modulus and characteristic strength values derived from Weibull plots of bending bar samples. The dataset is small, at 10.8 KB, and the number of bars analyzed per sample is indicated in brackets.

Use Cases

• Modeling material failure probability based on derived Weibull modulus values.
• Assessing material reliability and characteristic strength from bending test data.
• Comparing statistical fracture behavior across different samples using the provided strength values.
• Validating Weibull plot analysis methods with the calculated parameters.

Strengths

• Data is derived from experimental Weibull plots, suggesting a basis in physical testing.
• The sample size per data point is documented in brackets, providing context for the calculations.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small (10.8 KB), indicating limited scope.
