A set of ceramic parts are tested and the stress required for failure is measured; the results are as follows: 152 MPa, 260 MPa, 500 MPa, 1150 MPa, 700 MPa, 640 MPa, 370 MPa, 1020 MPa, and 1590 MPa. Calculate the Weibull modulus for the material. Discuss whether the material would be a good choice if we wished to design a reasonably reliable part.

Expert Solution

Weibull modulus calculation:

I have done the calculations in EXCEL, Tables are shown below, if any doubt is there please comment,

Plot graph using Ln(Ln(1/S(x)))) as Y data and Ln(x) as X data:

Hence, Weibull modulus = slope of above graph = 1.3101,

The significance of the Weibull modulus is:

Sets with very high Weibull modulus have more distinct threshold of failure which is often preferred. Sets with low Weibull modulus have a more broad range of failures. Here the Weibull modulus is less, Hence it is not a good choice for designing

Suppose that 19 measurements of the failure stress of carbon fiber specimens results in a sample mean of 562.68 MPa and sample standard deviation of 180.874 MPa and that the data is normally distributed. Calculate two-sided confidence intervals for the failure stress for the following cases: a) 95% confidence interval for a single measurement (n = 1) of the failure stress. Assume that the population standard deviation is known to be 181 MPa. b) 95% confidence interval for the sample...

Failure analysis testing is a mechanisms to understand how mechanical stress develops under the complex loading of vehicle dynamics to identify the cause of mechanical failure. It is known that mechanical failures due to metal fatigue of a certain type of jet engines follow a Poisson process. On the average based on the past records, a jet engine will have a failure once every 5000 flight hours. a. If such engines are scheduled for inspection and maintenance after every 2500...
