... to a sample variance criterion in this application. The outcome of the statistical analysis can be used to optimize casting design and eventually increase productivity and reduce fabrication costs. The statistical strategy developed in this paper can be implemented for other applications especially...

... was investigated. Tension–tension fatigue tests were performed at four levels of maximum stress and two levels of mean stress. From the test results, a detailed statistical analysis of the fatigue life was performed. It was found that there were no significant differences in the resulting probability distributions...

... strength (UTTS) of 3003 aluminum builds whose height is much greater than the one or two layer builds often used in peel strength or linear weld density testing. A statistical analysis was conducted to account for the stochastic nature of the UAM process and determine the optimal set of input parameters...
