Researches on Reliability of Hull Life Based on Zero-Failure Data : A New Way to Use Bayes Method

The book is based on formal researches about zero-failure data to adopte comprehensive E-Bayes method to study hull reliability. Also, based on zero-failure data of hull life, when zero-failure data of hull life subjects to two-parameter Weibull distribution, we studied the relationship between reliability and life of various structure hulls. The book offers hull reliability assessment method for shipyards and ship consumers under zero-failure of hull life condition, which are comprehensive E-Bayes estimation method, lower confidence limit estimation of hull reliability model and lower confidence limit estimation of hull reliable life model. Using E-Bayes method, we estimated hull failure rate under zero-failure data and failure data conditions respectively, and we got the comprehensive failure rate of hull by their weighted composite. Thus, we got the hull comprehensive reliability. We aim to bring some new ideas to the community and professionals in Reliability Analysis for hull.
