Hence estimate the probability of failure for an applied stress of 225 MPa. Estimate the maximum service stress if the
allowable failure rate is 1 in 1000. (see plot on next page)
Explain how you could ensure a failure rate of 1 in 1000 with a maximum service stress of 225 MPa.
1). You could proof test all parts to a stress greater than 225 MPa to avoid field failure.
2). You could improve the processing to reduce porosity to increase the weibull modulus
3). You could improve the surface quality to reduce surface flaws to increase weibull modulus.
4). You could use a different material.00}
