Abstract:Considering the large dispersion when processing small-sample fatigue test data of composite materials, a new method for modeling probabilistic S- N curves is proposed in terms of the equivalent fatigue lives. An equivalent fatigue life conversion model is first established based on two fundamental assumptions to improve the small-sample information utilized. Subsequently, a backward statistical inference technique improved by particle swarm optimization is used to determine probabilistic S- N curves through t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
