Abstract:Being conservative is in the nature of engineering design in order to compensate for uncertainty. Traditionally in the deterministic design approach, the level of conservativeness has not been a major concern for manufacturers in aerospace since it is defined and strictly required by the regulators as factors of safety. However, once a probabilistic design approach comes into play, the selection of conservativeness of probability of failure estimate considering epistemic uncertainty is an inevitable issue beca… Show more
