TL;DR: In this paper, an explicit finite element analysis (FEA) of a single abrasive particle impact on stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304) in abrasive water jet (AWJ) machining is presented.

TL;DR: It is proved that the reliability of an arbitrary system can be approximated well by a finite Weibull mixture with positive component weights only, without knowing the structure of the system, on condition that the unknown parameters of the mixture can be estimated.

TL;DR: In this article, a general multi-modal Weibull distribution with the procedure of unknown parameter estimation is presented, which can be used for every stationary process and for any shape of loading spectrum.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an alternative approach to the rapid estimation of S-N curves and their scatter by applying a two-parametric Weibull distribution to describe the scatter of a number of load cycles to failure at an arbitrary amplitude stress level.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new method of the scatter of loading spectra prediction has been developed for predicting the endurance limit of a randomly loaded structural component, which is much more general than that of other existing methods, and extensive load measurements on a fork-lift at various operating conditions have been carried out.
