Table 2 Algorithm to find the worst distribution of damage for Type 3

From: The uncorroded-part fallacy

b

f

d*

\(0 \le b_{cur} \le b_{break}\)

Use (18) with x = 0 to find fcur

\(d_{b + 1}^{*} = d_{i}^{*} = \frac{{1 - f_{cur} }}{\alpha }\)

\(b_{cur} > b_{break}\)

Use (19) with σ = σt and b = bcur to find x = xcur

Use (18) with σ = σt, x = xcur and b = bcur to find fcur

\(d_{b + 1}^{*} = d_{i}^{*} = \frac{{1 - f_{cur} }}{\alpha }\)
