The mechanical behavior of bundles of ceramic fibers exhibits a characteristic rupture process when subjected to tensile known as avalanche failure. This process is related to the load sharing among fiber bundles once some of the elements begin to fail. Mechanical tests were performed with bundles and Weibull statistics was used to interpret the results of the maximum stress supported by the bundles...
