Replication Data for: Survival analysis of tensile strength variation and simulated length-size effect along oak boards

A survival (or censored) analysis is performed on the cell-wise tensile strength of boards, which delivers coefficients for two different candidate distributions: (i) Beta and (ii) 3-parameter Weibull distributions. For both distributions, a parametric and a regression analyses are made.

The calibrated model is used to simulate tensile strength and modulus of elasticity (MOE) profiles along boards of different sizes. These virtual boards are then used to simulate the size effect of the studied boards. The localized tensile strength was obtained by first testing the board in tension until failure.
