Abstract
The strengths of solids are examined, and the various factors that determine them discussed. The ideal strength comes directly from the atomic forces but the practical strength depends on the toughness of the material and the effects of stress concentrations. The types of microstructures most suitable for realizing such strengths are considered. It is concluded that metals densely reinforced with strong whiskers or fibres of light, refractory, non-metallic solids have great promise.
