On Strength of Brittle Nanomaterials: Confinement Effect on Weibull Distributions

Recent progress in nanotechnology enables us to utilize elastic strain engineering, the emerging technology capable of controlling the physio-chemical properties of materials via externally-imposed elastic strains, for hard materials. Because the range of properties accessible with elastic strains a...
