摘要：This paper is mainly according to Bayesian formula and using Bayesian method to estimate parameter truth-values of three-parameter Weibull distribution to achieve material reliability evaluation. The parameter values estimated by maximum likelihood method as the prior information of Bayesian estimation, assume that the parameter obeys a certain distribution and let the certain distribution as the prior distribution of parameter, and the three-parameter Weibull distribution is known, so the posterior distribution function of the parameter can be obtained. According to Bayesian estimation, the maximum posteriori estimation is chosen as the truth-value of the estimated parameter, the lifetime data are substituted into the truth-value estimated function of reliability and the theoretical values of the reliability can be got. Case study shows that the Bayesian method has general applicability to the material reliability evaluation.
