Abstract:

In order to determine the turning point between the periods of early failure and random failure, a Weibull Two-fold Piecewise Model is proposed. Then, the procedures of determining the turning point of the bathtub curve of special vehicles are specified in this method. Finally, the turning point of the bathtub curve of a special vehicle is determined based on this paper's method. And the rationality of this method is verified. All in all, the result, derived from this method, is helpful to determine the period of the delivery test.

Key words: Weibull Two-fold Piecewise Model, turning point of the bathtub curve, special vehicle
