Weibull++ Equation Fit Solver Example

Equation Fit Solver can be used to do linear and nonlinear regression. Assume an engineer collected the following degradation data.

Time Reading
5 8.08
10 13.52
15 21.86
20 31.96
25 37.86
30 46.67
35 53.35
40 62.29
45 71.62
50 80.37
55 91.43
60 104.00

From the physical mechanism, the engineer knows the degradation path follows the following equation:

[math]\displaystyle{ y=a+bx+c\ln (x) }[/math]

where:

•* x is the time

•* y is the degradation reading.


This above model is not a standard degradation model in Webul++. It can be solved using the equation fit solver.


Solution:

Step 1: Create an Equation Fit Solver Folio
