The method is generally destructive. A sample of a population is
tested. The accuracy of inferences that are drawn depends on the
sampling frequency and the degree to which the sample is
representative.
The probability curve is presented in the format of a Weibull
distribution. The validity of a Weibull assumption should, however,
be tested. Such tests are outside the scope of this method.
The strength distribution can be inferred from the failure
stress data with certain assumptions about the flaw growth
mechanism and the parameters that describe it. These inferences are
illustrated in the annexes, but are outside the scope of the
method.
This test method applies to a population characteristic that is
not specifiable, at least at the present time. Therefore, this test
method shall not be called out in any TIA specification
document.
