ABSTRACT

The miles at which 19 military personnel carriers failed [1–4] in service are shown in Table 20.1. The model used in the analyses was the two-parameter exponential, that is, the exponential model with a threshold failure mileage, which was found to be consistent with the data [1–4]. The two-parameter exponential model is equivalent to a three-parameter Weibull model with a shape parameter, β = 1.00. Failure Miles for 19 Personnel Carriers
