Estimation of Failure Probability for Bearing and its Applications in the Case of Zero-Failure Data

Abstract:

This paper introduces a new method, named E-Bayesian estimation method, to estimate failure probability. In the case of zero-failure data, the definition of E-Bayesian estimation of failure probability is provided; moreover, the formulas of E-Bayesian estimation and hierarchical Bayesian estimation and the property of E-Bayesian estimation of the failure probability are also provided. For the estimate failure probability, in the following sections we will see simple the E-Bayesian estimation method is method than hierarchical Bayesian estimation method. Finally, the calculated results of bearing show that the proposed method is feasible and convenient in engineering application.
