Reliability study of fracture mechanics based non-probabilistic interval analysis model

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In this paper, we advanced a new interval reliability analysis model for fracture reliability analysis. Based on the non-probabilistic stress intensity factor interference model and the ratio of the volume of the safe region to the total volume of the region associated with the variation of the standardized interval variables is suggested as the measure of structural non-probabilistic reliability. We use this theory to calculate the reliability of structure based on fracture criterion. This model needs less uncertain information, so it has less limitation for analysing an uncertain structure or system. Examples of practical application are given to explain the simplicity and practicability of this model by comparing the interval reliability analysis model with probabilistic reliability analysis model.
