Abstract
Accuracy in data analysis is of utmost importance because lifetime predictions are extremely sensitive to experimental uncertainty in the crack growth parameters. The limitations of the conventional data reduction techniques used for analysing static and dynamic fatigue data are reviewed and new, statistical methods of data reduction that offer advantages over the conventional techniques are discussed.
