Comparison of Conservatism on Applying Statistical Analysis Method to Determine Composite Allowance

Abstract:

In this paper, composite static strength test are analyzed with the Weibull and normal statistical method. Compare the Weibull analysis with the normal analysis, which shows that the A-basis value and B-basis value from the Weibull analysis respectively are less than ones from normal analysis by approximate 9.7% and 2.6% under tension loading, on the other hand they are decreased by approximate 16.1% and 5.2% under compression loading. This analysis result has the higher application worth.
