The Ideal Strength of Solids

  • Chapter
Atomistics of Fracture

Abstract

There is an upper limit to the mechanical strength of any material under any particular test conditions. This limit is known as the ideal strength. The present paper attempts to define the ideal strength as closely as is presently possible. To this end, a brief account is first given of some of the highest strengths recorded experimentally. Then follows a short account of the published theoretical calculations of the ideal strength. Finally, the theoretical and experimental values are compared, and it is shown that in several instances these differ by less than a factor 2x.
