Popis: A system composed of a set of independent parallel components is considered and its resistance to an increasing load is modeled. The load is divided equally among all components (the load-sharing scheme). Failures (breaks) of components are regarded as the events of corresponding counting processes in statistical survival analysis. The objective is to estimate the distribution of breaking strengths of components (i.e., the load per component causing the breaks), to predict the breaking strength of the system, and to compare such a prediction with observed data by statistical tests.
