Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Probabilistic Methods in Civil Engineering

Abstract:

Methods are developed for estimating crack trajectory and the probability of crack initiation in mixed mode fracture. The analysis is based on a computer program for deterministic fracture mechanics analysis (FRANC) and modern methods of structural reliability.
