Depends on the fiberglass and how it's been made up- I build model boats with fiberglass hulls that can be flexed about to a certain extent, but too far and it'll just snap Hope this helps -Dan

why the tensile properties of most brittle materials are accessed by transverse bending tests and not ascertain by tensile tests
It should last for years as long as you don't walk on it and smash it down .I have it in my house and it is 20 yrs old ( fiberglass type )
No. To strain harden at room temperature requires cold working beyond the material yield point, and ceramics have no yield, being brittle.
The thicker a steel plate, the more susceptible the plate is to brittle fracture behaviour. this is due to a large temperature difference or gradient between the inner and outer plate. When the mass of the thick plate is sufficiently great, the harsh cold temperature will induce stress faster than the material can dissipate and hence fracture. this is why the strength reduces with grade and thickness.
it is ductile. For hardened stainless steel it gets less ductile, but not brittle.
Silicon has a Brittle-to-Ductile transition at around ~500 C.
Ductile and brittle are NOT the same thing. In fact, almost the opposite.
No, silicon is a brittle material and not ductile.
Doubtful. Ductile by definition means "not brittle, easily stretched, malleable".

A fluoride salt is brittle.
Sulfur is brittle.
more brittle
is factor of safety of brittle material half of ductile material
They are generally brittle.
