Abstract
ANALYSIS OF THE BREAKING STRENGTH of a solid body was based, in the remote past, on the belief that the body would break instantly under a critical threshold tensile force. Below that threshold, it was thought, the body would last without failure for a long time, if not indefinitely.Keywords
