PROBABILITY APPLICATIONS IN MECHANICAL DESIGN
This book is intended for use by practicing engineers in industry, but formatted with examples and problems for use in a one-semester graduate course. Chapter 1 provides the data reduction techniques for fitting experimental failure data to a statistical distribution. For the purposes of this book only normal (Gaussian) and Weibull distributions are considered, but the techniques can be expanded to include other distributions, including non-parametric distributions.
The main part of the book is Chapter 2, which applies probability and computer analysis to fatigue, design, and variations of both. The essence of this chapter is the ideas presented in Metal Fatigue (1959) edited by George Sines and J. L. Waisman and considers the problem of having to deal with a limited amount of engineering data.
The discussions of fatigue by Robert C. Juvinall in Stress, Strain, Strength (1967) and by J. H. Faupel and F. Fisher in Engineering Design (1981), as well as the books by Edward Haugen (1968) on the variation of parameters in fatigue, are successfully combined into a single treatment of fatigue.
