  • Abstract
    Competing failure model (CFM) and mixed-failure model (MFM) are different. It is important to apply the right model based on specific engineering background of the problem to be studied. CFM is for homogeneous population analysis, while MFM is for heterogeneous population analysis. Significant error can happen if the right model is not used.
