The Concept of Pseudo-Standardized Variables and its Use as Elements of Shape Operators

Abstract

The concept of pseudo-standardized variable is explained and the fundamental properties of this variable are indicated. Its most important property of being scale and location invariant makes it useful as elements of shape operators, and its space being equal to closed interval (0,1) has practical advantages. Four types of shape operators are defined and examined. Twenty-five tables which simplify their practical applications have been prepared and are presented. Two examples concerning data of rotating beam fatigue performance illustrate the different numerical procedures.
