It is known that the single-modal Weibull model describes well the size effect of brittle fiber tensile strength. However, some ceramic fibers have been reported that single-modal Weibull model provided biased estimation on the gauge length dependence. A hypothesis on the bias is that the density of critical defects is very small, thus, fracture probability of small gauge length samples distrib...

In this paper the log-exponentiated-Weibull regression model is modified to allow the possibility that long term survivors are present in the data. The modification leads to a log-exponentiated-Weibull regression model with cure rate, encompassing as special cases the log-exponencial regression and log-Weibull regression models with cure rate typically used to model such data. The models attemp...

In this study, Geographically Weighted Trivariate Weibull Regression (GWTWR) model and parameter estimation procedure are proposed. GWTWR is trivariate Weibull regression model which all of the regression parameters depend on the geographical location, and parameter estimation is done locally at each location in the study area. The location is expressed as a point coordinate in two-dimensional ...

Seamless mobility management of the mesh clients (MCs) in wireless mesh network (WMN) has drawn a lot of attention from the research community. A number of mobility management schemes such as mesh network with mobility management (MEMO), mesh mobility management (M(3)), and wireless mesh mobility management (WMM) have been proposed. The common problem with these schemes is that they impose unif...

in this paper, we develop an inventory model for perishable items with random lifetime in a two-echelon production-distribution system. there is a manufacturer at the first stage that produces its product with a constant rate. deterioration in this stage is modeled via a two-parameter weibull distribution. at the second stage, the retailer places the order and receives the product instantly. th...

In this paper the Weibull fading channel model is described and some integral characteristics of Weibull distribution are analyzed. For analytical and numerical evaluation of system performance, the Weibull probability density functions (pdf) are analyzed like particular solutions of corresponding differential equation, while the existence of singular solution is considered and analyzed under d...

Tracking is the main factor which limits the safe working electric stress of insulation in power system applications. Polymer samples have been tested in laboratory conditions according to ASTM D2303 on accelerated inclined plane tracking test. In this paper, a model based on improved Weibull statistics is proposed for estimating the breakdown time of polymeric insulating materials with borax. ...
