Determination of Parameters of Endurance Limit Distribution Law of Material by the Methods of Nonparametric Statistics and Kinetic Theory of High-Cycle Fatigue

Abstract

The paper considers the first developed algorithm of processing the data of specimen life tests based on the kinetic theory of mechanical fatigue and methods of nonparametric statistics. It makes it possible to determine the distribution density function of the material endurance limit. Implementation of the algorithm is illustrated on example of processing the data obtained in fatigue tests of steel 50 specimens.
