This is a three-factor experiment with each factor at three levels, for a total of 27 runs. Samples of worsted yarn were with different levels of the three factors were given a cyclic load until the sample failed. The goal is to understand how cycles to failure depends on the factors.
WoolThis data frame contains the following columns:
length of specimen (250, 300, 350 mm)
amplitude of loading cycle (8, 9, 10 min)
load (40, 45, 50g)
number of cycles until failure
