Abstract
A statistical model for life-lengths of structures under dynamic loading is derived. The model makes it possible to express the probability distribution of life-lengths in terms of the load given as a function of time and of deterioration occurring in time independently of loading. The special case of a constant load (or of periodic loading with constant amplitude) leads to gamma distributions for life lengths.Keywords
