The computation of a Load Factor, a Life Factor or a Load Enhancement Factor using Modified Joint Weibull Analysis may include retrieving a test data set from at least one database and analyzing the data retrieved for fit with a Weibull distribution model for the data. The test data may be analyzed to determine if at least two coupons have been tested and if both the applied loads and duration of testing at the component-level were varied. At least one shape parameter may be calculated for the Weibull distribution model after which the shape parameter may be stored. At least one scale parameter may be calculated for the Weibull distribution of the data after which the scale parameter may be stored. A stress to life cycle relationship may also be calculated to account for scatter in the data through the Weibull distribution data. At least one of the Life Factor, the Load Factor and the Load Enhancement Factor may be calculated based on the stress to life cycle relationship to account for scatter in the Life Factor, the Load Factor or the Load Enhancement Factor.
