Best Practice Guideline for Statistical Analyses of Fatigue Results

Download or read book Best Practice Guideline for Statistical Analyses of Fatigue Results written by Guy Parmentier and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive guidance for the use of sound statistical methods and for the evaluation of fatigue data of welded components and structures obtained under constant amplitude loading and used to produce S-N curves. Recommendations for analyzing fatigue data are available, although they do not deal with all the statistical treatments that may be required to utilize fatigue test results, and none of them offers specific guidelines for analyzing fatigue data obtained from tests on welded specimens. For an easy use, working sheets are provided to assist in the proper statistical assessment of experimental fatigue data concerning practical problems giving the procedure and a numerical application as illustration.
