STOCHASTIC FAILURE MODELS BASED UPON DISTRIBUTIONS OF STRESS PEAKS.

Abstract

The paper describes a family of time dependent random processes which can provide a tool for modeling a stress process in one spatial dimension. Probability distributions of peak stress intensity and functions of peak stress intensity occurring in a fixed time interval are developed. A family of first passage times are interpreted as life length distributions and their mean and variance are derived in terms of parameters of the underlying process. (Author)
