Abstract: We outline here a method for incorporating the scatter observed in creep rupture times and fatigue cycles-to-failure into a probabilistic model for creep-fatigue failure. We do this within the ...

Abstract: A notable feature of replicated creep and creep-rupture data is the considerable amount of statistical scatter present. The existence of this scatter leads to substantial uncertainties in the ...

Abstract: The problem addressed is that of the online computational burden of gross-motion control laws for quick, strongly nonlinear systems like revolute robots. It will be demonstrated that a large ...

Abstract: We outline here a simple approximate method of lifetime prediction for high-temperature, internally pressurized piping components that takes into account the very large scatter present in the ...
