| Description | The tensile test in transition metal disilicides with C11$_b$ structure is simulated by {\it ab initio} electronic structure calculations using full potential linearized augmented plane wave method (FLAPW). Full relaxation of both external and internal parameters is performed. The theoretical tensile strength of MoSi$_2$ and WSi$_2$ for [001] loading is determined and compared with those of other materials. |
