Bayesian analysis for the accurate fatigue crack propagation rate using full-scale Shinkansen vehicle axle models

Bayesian analysis was performed to estimate appropriate value for the uncertain propagation rate of cracks that can be initiated at the wheelseat of Shinkansen vehicle axle by the results of fatigue test using full-scale model. Using the obtained crack propagation rate, recalculations of failure probabilities of the Shinkansen vehicle axle...
