contents Our study employs the nuclear shell model to systematically compute the half-lives of $β$ -decay for nuclei in the mass range of $A = 18-39$, encompassing the majority of $sd$ shell nuclei. This analysis utilizes the USDB and SDNN Hamiltonians. The theoretical outcomes contain calculations of various parameters such as $Q$ -values, half-lives, excitation energy, log$ft$ values, and branching ratios. We explore these results with axial-vector coupling constant for weak interactions, denoted as $g_A$$(= 1.27)$, and $κ$ value $(= 6289)$. We perform calculations of Gamow Teller matrix elements for 116 decay processes to calculate the quenching factor; we found a quenching factor of $q = 0.794\pm0.05 $ for the USDB interaction and $q = 0.815\pm0.04 $ for the SDNN interaction. We have also calculated superallowed transitions $0^+ \rightarrow 0^+$ for seven nuclei. Further, we have also included the electron capture phase space factor for the required nuclei to calculate the half-lives. This inclusion leads to small contribution in results, particularly for nuclei where electron capture (EC) plays a significant role. The overall results are in agreement with the experimental data.
