What does material non-random strength (f_t) mean?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Material non-random strength (f_t) refers to a fixed, absolute value of strength that does not vary, contrasting with random strength characteristics. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the size effect on structural strength, which indicates that the strength of materials can change based on their size. This concept is crucial for engineers and material scientists when designing structures to ensure reliability and safety.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of material science principles
  • Familiarity with structural engineering concepts
  • Knowledge of strength of materials
  • Basic grasp of statistical methods in material testing
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of size effect on structural strength in engineering
  • Study the statistical methods used in material strength testing
  • Explore case studies on material non-random strength in construction
  • Learn about the relationship between material properties and structural design
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, material scientists, and students in structural engineering who are looking to deepen their understanding of material strength and its implications in design and safety.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Size_effect_on_structural_strength#cite_note-1I don't understand about non-random strength (f_t) and size effect of material
And please explain to me for the size effect? :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

Non-random ( somewhat the opposite of random in this case but not necessarily ).
Non-random strength of a material would mean that it is fixed, never varying, an absolute value.
