R. Sepe et alii, Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale, 37 (2016) 369-381; DOI: 10.3221/IGF-ESIS.37.48 379 Figure 7 : Mean of the crack init. time [ms] vs. MC trial. Figure 8 : Std dev. of the crack init time [ms] vs. MC trial. The scale factor of the stress-strain curve along the stress axes was chosen as the input random parameter, with a normal distribution N (1;0.1). In the following Figs. 9-11 the cumulative density function, the mean and the standard deviation of the crack initiation time, related to the variability of the stress-strain curve, vs. the MC trial number, are respectively reported.
