Abstract:This work presents a methodology for determining the reliability of fracture control plans for structures subjected to cyclic loads. It considers the variability of the parameters involved in the problem, such as initial flaw and crack growth curve. The probability of detection (POD) curve of the field non-destructive inspection method and the condition/environment are used as important factors for structural confidence. According to classical damage tolerance analysis (DTA), inspection intervals are based on … Show more
“…General information about the PoD curve for detecting throughthickness cracks by visual inspections is available in [54,55] which is summarised and applied in [56]. A Weibull distribution is assumed for the PoD in [56]:…”
