A General Class of Fatigue-life Distributions of Birnbaum-Saunders Type

arXiv:2310.20597

Abstract

The derivation of Birnbaum-Saunders (BS) fatigue-life distribution is based on the asymptotic normality of crack damages' partial sums. We address the situation when this fails and the crack damages possess heavy-tailed distribution. In this note, a general class of fatigue-life distributions of BS type is proposed.
