We report all available measurements on strength of meteorites, primarily focusing on compressive and tensile strengths and supplementary data such as Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, elastic sound wave velocities, density, porosity, and sample sizes. These data are solely taken from the original papers to avoid misprints and other issues. The data are provided as originally presented by the authors with the exception of standardization of units to the SI system. A brief overview of methods for each original work is also provided as a guide to “data quality” since individual papers go to varying levels of detail on their experimental setup and procedures. From this data set, we confirm that the compressive strength of ordinary chondrites (varying in the range of 10s to 100s of MP a) is about an order of magnitude larger compared to their tensile strength and the difference increases with iron content. For carbonaceous chondrites, the tensile strength seems to be about an order of magnitude below the tensile strength of ordinary chondrites and at least an order of magnitude below their compressive strength. We also provide a statistical relation between the strength of meteorites and their densities and porosities and discuss the role of strain rate and sample size on the resultant measured strength. Finally, the data do not provide sufficient statistics to support a size scale effect of strength of meteorites.

陨石的优势-可用数据的概述和分析

我们报告了所有关于陨石强度的可用测量结果，主要集中在抗压强度和拉伸强度以及补充数据，例如杨氏模量，泊松比，弹性声波速度，密度，孔隙率和样品大小。这些数据仅取自原始论文，以避免打印错误和其他问题。数据按作者最初提供的方式提供，但SI系统的单位标准化除外。由于每篇论文的实验设置和程序都有不同的详细程度，因此还简要介绍了每个原始工作的方法，以作为“数据质量”的指南。根据该数据集，我们证实，普通球粒陨石的抗压强度（在MP a的10s至100s范围内变化）比其抗张强度大大约一个数量级，并且差异随铁含量的增加而增加。对于碳质球粒陨石，抗张强度似乎比普通球粒陨石的抗张强度低大约一个数量级，而比其抗压强度低至少一个数量级。我们还提供了陨石强度与其密度和孔隙率之间的统计关系，并讨论了应变率和样品大小对所得测量强度的作用。最后，数据不足以提供足够的统计数据来支持陨石强度的大小比例效应。抗拉强度似乎比普通球粒陨石的抗拉强度低一个数量级，而比其抗压强度低至少一个数量级。我们还提供了陨石强度与其密度和孔隙率之间的统计关系，并讨论了应变率和样品大小对所得测量强度的作用。最后，数据不足以提供足够的统计数据来支持陨石强度的大小比例效应。抗拉强度似乎比普通球粒陨石的抗拉强度低一个数量级，而比其抗压强度低至少一个数量级。我们还提供了陨石强度与其密度和孔隙率之间的统计关系，并讨论了应变率和样品大小对所得测量强度的作用。最后，数据不足以提供足够的统计数据来支持陨石强度的大小比例效应。
