Assessment of Probabilistic Certification Methodology for Composite Structures

Abstract

A sensitivity study has been conducted to assess the currently available probabilistic structural analysis methods. The influence of the distribution parameters on the probability of failure was investigated analytically. The significant parameters that have an impact on development of probabilistic certification procedures were identified. The technical gaps which need to be filled for probabilistic certification of composite structures were discussed.
