STUDY ON RELIABILITY DISTRIBUTION MODELS OF FATIGUE LIFE OF ANTI-VIBRATION RUBBER MATERIALS (MT) by WANG XiaoLi, PENG XiaoYang, LIU XiangNan, DUAN XiaoCheng, XU Wei

“…Conventional crack initiation methods and crack propagation methods to determine fatigue life of rubbers are insufficiently to characterize the phenomenon; thus, probabilistic methods are desired in practical engineering. Based on the test data of uniaxial tensile fatigue experiment of rubbers, the cumulative distribution function and probability density function of residual fatigue life corresponding to two typical probability distribution models of three parameters Weibull distribution（3 PWD） and logarithmic normal distribution（LND） were derived and applied to the prediction of residual life reliability, in order to determine the minimum required under different probability distribution model of sample number and working condition number. …”
