### Addressing Variability in Mechanical Properties of Brittle Materials

A probabilistic approach to addressing variability in mechanical properties of brittle materials can be expressed in terms of the probability of survival (Ps(v)) at a given stress level (σ) in a given volume (v) as:

\[ P_s(v) = \exp \left[- \left( \frac{\sigma}{\sigma_0} \right)^m \right] \]

### Application: Silicon Nitride Rods for Turbochargers

A company supplies Silicon Nitride rods for the manufacture of turbochargers. For a certain produced batch, the 3-point bend test data in MPa is represented by the Weibull plot shown below.

#### Figure Description:

![Weibull Plot](path_to_image)

**Figure Q10-13: Weibull plot for 3-point bend test of a batch of Silicon Nitride rods**

- The x-axis represents the natural logarithm of the failure stress (ln σf).
- The y-axis represents the natural logarithm of the natural logarithm of the reciprocal of the probability of failure (ln ln(1 / Ps)).
- The data points are plotted and a linear regression is fitted to these points.
- The equation of the fitted line is y = 26.697x - 198.49, with an R² value of 0.9522, indicating a high degree of correlation.

#### Key Elements to Note:
- The slope of the fitted line in the Weibull plot helps to determine the Weibull modulus (m).

### Understanding the Weibull Modulus

The Weibull modulus (m) in the probabilistic equation is an expression of the diversity of strength in the tested batch. 

**Choose the correct option:**
- (a) the average modulus of elasticity
- (b) the median modulus of elasticity
- (c) an expression of the diversity of strength in the tested batch
- (d) an expression of critical stress intensity
- (e) the linear density of flaw distribution

**Correct Answer: (c)**
