Abstract

The R6 procedure can confidently estimate critical defect size, but due to defect size and material properties, as well as loading, being statistically distributed, a probabilistic approach must be adopted. A probabilistic fracture mechanics assessment method based on the R6 principle has been developed for the integrity of structures. With this method, the probability of failure as an output of an integrity assessment and the influence factors of failure probability can easily be obtained for design. The application of this method is illustrated with a case study.
