The simultaneous values of tension and bending are of primary interest when checking the structural integrity of dynamic risers and umbilicals. Considering extreme checks, it is generally sufficient to check the simultaneous values along the convex hull of the extreme contour. A method for obtaining a boundary polygon that approximates the statistical extreme convex hull from time series data is described. The procedure for obtaining the extreme values from the most suitable extreme value distribution as determined by the Anderson-Darling Goodness-of-Fit test is outlined.

This paper proposes a new goodness-of-fit for the two-parameter distribution. It is based on a function of squared distances between empirical and theoretical quantiles of a set of observations being hypothesized to have come from the gamma distribution. The critical values of the proposed statistic are evaluated through extensive simulations of the unit-scaled gamma distributions and computations. The empirical powers of the statistic are obtained and compared with some well-known tests for the gamma distribution, and the results show that the proposed statistic can be recommended as a test for the gamma distribution.

In this study, the tension-tension fatigue response of bidirectional woven E-glass fibre reinforced unsaturated polyester composites was experimentally determined. The composite parts were produced via continuous laminating process. The probabilistic fatigue life distribution of the produced composites at various constant stress levels was then modelled, based on the two-parameter Weibull approach. A variety of different methods including graphical, method of moments and the maximum likelihood were conducted to predict the Weibull parameters. For the sake of reliability, the composite fatigue life data gathered at each constant stress level were correlated with the approvals of Kolmogorov-Smirnow goodness-of-fit test. Furthermore, the two parameter Weibull approach was utilized to relate the composite failure probability to the number of fatigue cycles that the composite withstands under a given load. As a result, the two-parameter Weibull approach has proved to be an efficient statistical tool to assess the reliability of polymer composite structures.
