Abstract: Charts are presented relating the lower one-sided confidence limit on the reliability, RL1 , to the effective sample size, ne , calculated from the sample sizes used to estimate the failure ...

Abstract: Mathematical models are developed for the wear-life distributions of aircraft splines which provide equations for predicting their reliability when spline-tooth wear is the failure mode under ...

Abstract: Land and crater wear data, obtained when machining SAE 1045 hot-rolled steel with Kennametal type KM carbide-tipped tools and with air, flood, and mist as cutting media, are presented. The ...

Abstract: Methodologies for developing distributional theoretical stress concentration factors, fatigue stress concentration factors, and notch sensitivity factors for circumferentially grooved, rotating AISI ...
