Conclusions 1. The thickness of specimens when varied in the range from 0.3 cm to 3.0 cm has a marked effect on the strength of the foam plastic. The form of the relation between strength and thickness depends on whether the cross section of the specimen is kept constant, or is varied at the same time. 2. The suitability of Weibull's statistical theory of strength, and of the model of the test specimen with a binomial distribution of defects, for estimating the strength of foam plastics, has been demonstrated. 3. The particular character of the influence exerted by the dimensions of specimens on tensile test results must be taken into account when comparing the results of tests obtained from foam plastic specimens of different dimensions, if design of structural components containing this material is to be based on such results.
