Application of statistical methods to test procedure planning analysis of experimental data obtained from fatigue tests, e.g. in accordance with BS 3518:Parts 2, 3 and 4. Covers determination of: S/N curves for different probabilities, stress at N cycles, fatigue limit, life at fixed levels; guidance on appropriate analytical methods, worked examples for all methods of analysis and tests. Assumes some knowledge of statistical techniques but includes reference to standard works on statistical theory.
