Abstract

The strength-stress model has been widely used in a variety of areas including testing the reliability of the item or design procedures. This model was first introduced in 1950's and can be found on various applications in civil, aerospace engineering etc. This paper considers the strength-stress model in detail and proposes an estimator which deals with the reliability estimation problem based on censored observations in the strength variables.
