Some tests for hypotheses concerning tensile strength of cloth

Summary

An important quantity for the determination of the quality of a textile product is the tensile strength of the material. This strength may be tested by stretching a strip until it breaks and measuring the maximum tension which is attained during this process. The experiment may be performed in such a way that the time, necessary to attain the breaking point, has a predetermined length. This is called the testing time and it appears that it influences the tensile strength. The present paper gives a number of statistical tests which enable us to investigate certain properties of the relation between the two quantities mentioned. The use of the tests is demonstrated by a numerical example.
