PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for predicting the service life of material for a rolling bearing in a short period of time with higher accuracy than the conventional method, and also to provide the rolling bearing having the long service life discriminated and ensured by the service life prediction. SOLUTION: Image analysis using a color image is performed when measuring the size of the non-metallic inclusions in the material for the rolling bearing. Thereby, a plurality of kinds of inclusions having different effects on the service life are separately measured, and the service life of the material for the rolling bearing is predicted with higher accuracy than the conventional case by using the service life prediction formula with the frequency distribution of the size of the inclusions classified into kinds as a parameter, without testing a rolling life.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a Weibull slope in a safe and proper range, even for few number of test times, when determining a result value of the Weibull slope in order to design or interpret a lifetime test. SOLUTION: A comparison data group 72 wherein a relation between a value of the Weibull slope of a test result and a dispersion range of the Weibull slope that can take a prescribed possibility to the value of the Weibull slope is determined is stored in a computer 1. The number of tests and the value of the Weibull slope are compared with the comparison data group. The upper limit value and the lower limit value of dispersion of the Weibull slope, corresponding to a Weibull slope of the test result, are read from the comparison data group 72 (means 75). An overlapping range, between the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the dispersion of the Weibull slope, is determined, and the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the overlapping range are determined, as a range of the Weibull slope estimated from the test result, to thereby perform narrowing procedure (means 76).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method which enables a trial calculation of the necessary number of tests for obtaining calculation life of high reliability simply and rapidly with high reliability even by an unskilled person. SOLUTION: Random numbers are produced from a certain Weibull distribution (J21) and random numbers are produced from the same Weibull distribution (J22). The life calculated from the produced random numbers is operated to calculate one set of a life ratio (J23). This processing is repeated the set number of times to calculate of the life ratio of the set number of the set number of times to form the probability distribution of this life ratio and a cumulated probability distribution (J24). The processing up to the formation of the cumulated probability distribution is repeated by sequentially changing the number to form a graph showing the relation between the test number and necessary life difference (J25). The number corresponding to the life difference of input data is read from the graph to set a necessary number of tests (J26). COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
