Weibull statistical analysis for the determination of relative reliability of cut pile carpet tuft bind strength - Methodology and case study

摘要

Weibull statistics were summarized and a step by step methodology on how to perform the calculations, as applied to tuft bind strength in cut pile carpets, was introduced. The analysis was investigated with a case study looking to find the Weibull modulus. This modulus is indicative of reliability of a material and can be used as a relative measurement. In this case, a latex poor and latex rich latex adhesive were investigated, knowing the latex rich adhesive should yield a higher Weibull modulus. Results showed the value was relatively higher, indicating Weibull statistics are a useful resource in looking at the relative reliability of cut pile carpets.
