@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/3318, title = {Additional Considerations on a Sequential Life Testing Approach using a Weibull Model}, author = {D. I. De Souza and D. R. Fonseca and R. Rocha}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {In this paper we will develop further the sequential life test approach presented in a previous article by [1] using an underlying two parameter Weibull sampling distribution. The minimum life will be considered equal to zero. We will again provide rules for making one of the three possible decisions as each observation becomes available; that is: accept the null hypothesis H0; reject the null hypothesis H0; or obtain additional information by making another observation. The product being analyzed is a new type of a low alloy-high strength steel product. To estimate the shape and the scale parameters of the underlying Weibull model we will use a maximum likelihood approach for censored failure data. A new example will further develop the proposed sequential life testing approach.}, journal = {International Journal of Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering}, volume = {6}, number = {6}, year = {2012}, pages = {1052 - 1055}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/3318}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/66}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 66, 2012}, }
