Exponentiated Weibull distribution, introduced as an extension of the Weibull distribution, is characterized by bathtub shaped, unimodal failure rates besides a broader class of monotone failure rates ...

Here’s a way to calculate the reliability for designs with several subsystems. • Weibull plots fit a curve through data, not data to a predetermined distribution’s curve. • After evaluating subsystems ...

An industry expert discusses use of the Weibull distribution for life testing electromechanical relays. Life tests for electro-mechanical relays can be set up using relatively small sample sizes, ...

Most products are built to specifications that include some measure of reliability. In the design stage, FEA does a good job of pinpointing the weak spots in parts and assemblies. But the real test ...

Energy Exploration & Exploitation, Vol. 39, No. 6 (November 2021), pp. 2150-2168 (19 pages) Current work focusses on the wind potential assessment in South Punjab. Eleven locations from South Punjab ...

This example considers a data set given in Lawless (1982). The data are the number of days it took rats painted with a carcinogen to develop carcinoma. The last two observations are censored. Maximum ...
