Probabilistic Assessment of Composite Structures

Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Engineering Mechanics

Abstract:

Formal procedures are described which are used to computationally simulate the probabilistic behavior of composite structures. The computational simulation starts with the uncertainties associated with all aspects of a composite structure (constituents, fabrication, assembling, etc.). Typical sample cases are included to illustrate the formal procedure for the computational simulation. The collective results of the sample cases demonstrate that uncertainties in composite behavior and structural response can be probabilistically quantified.
