Format

A vector containing 101 observations.

Details

psi21, psi26 and psi31 were taken from Birnbaum and Saunders (1969), who reported fatigue life data correspond to the cycles (\times 10^{-3}) of aluminum specimens of type 6061-T6. These specimens were cut in a parallel angle to the direction of rotation and oscillating at 18 cycles per seconds. They were exposed to a pressure with maximum stress of 21,000, 26,000, and 31,000 psi (pounds per square inch), for n = 101, 102, and 101 specimens, respectively.
