Unlike these last three failure distributions, the Weibull except at shape 砘 = 1 does not have a closed- form function for the n-fold convolution. Since the Weibull is the most important failure distribution in reliability analyses, the approximate renewal and renewal-intensity functions of Weibull were obtained by the time-discretizing method using the Mean- Value heorem for Integrals. A Matlab program outputs all reliability and renewal measures. 1. Introduction and second raw moments, which is generally known as the asymptotic approximation and is also cited in numerous Renew
