Description

The uses of statistics in analysing and applying beryllium strength data are discussed. Statistical analysis results are given for beryllium tensile data. It is concluded that Weibull analysis provides a convenient method of characterizing material variability. An illustrative example of safety factor calculation is given. The importance of Weibull analysis in design may be great if the weakest-link hypothesis is verified for beryllium failure. (author)
