Statistical Distribution Fitting for Textile Failure Data
topic
Weibull distribution fitting to tensile breaking strength, fatigue life, and abrasion failure cycle data uses maximum likelihood estimation of shape and scale parameters, with goodness of fit assessed by Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Anderson-Darling tests; Weibull probability plots linearise the distribution for graphical parameter estimation and identification of mixed failure mode populations through changes in slope.
Role
Provides the statistical survival analysis framework for characterising the failure probability distributions of textile load-bearing and protective materials, enabling reliability prediction, minimum strength guarantee calculation, and identification of dual failure mode populations in tensile strength data from mixed-quality fibre batches or structurally non-uniform fabric samples.
