 VEM Weibull Analysis on the TM Life Test Data (Zuji Magnets)

Life Data
1. Failed Samples (< 50,000 Cycles) : 21
2. Censored Samples (>50,000 Cycles) : 11

3. Total Samples under Life Test : 32

Analysis Parameters (MINITAB)

1. Estimation Method : Max. Likelihood

2. Distribution : Weibull

Parameter Estimates
1. Scale : 44822
2. Shape : 1.4721
3. MTTF : 40554

Scale is also called as CHARACTERISTIC LIFE

For the Weibull distribution, the characteristic life is equal to the scale parameter, This is
the time at which 63.2% of the product will have failed.
So, 63.2 % of TM fails by 44822 Cycles

Shape value of 1.4721 implies mild wear-out characteristics
