Hi Guys,
I recently noticed that there is significant difference between the predicted life with S/N curves shown in Figures 3.7.5.2.8(b)and 3.7.5.2.8(e) in MMPDS-09. Both of them are "for unnotched 7050-T7451 plate, long transverse direction, t/4 specimen locations". The second one is giving very conservative results comparing to the first one. I would like to know how we can explain this significant difference? I also noticed that these curves are not shown in MMPDS-15.
Thanks,
A.

Give us the rest of the figure titles, including any footnotes.
These are very detailed.
If in doubt contact Battell Columbus, they maintain MMPDS data.

No. of Heat/Lots: Unspecified
Sample Size = 57
Std. Error of Estimate = 0.183
Standard Deviation = 0.814
R^2 = 95%

Figure 3.7.5.2.8(e):
Product Form = 1 to 6 inches thick
Specimen Details: Unnotched 0.25 and 0.30 inch diameter
