A Probabilistic Safety Assessment Method Based on Latin Hypercube Sampling Method

Abstract:

Based on the shortcomings of traditional probabilistic assessment methods, an improved probabilistic safety assessment method was proposed, which used Latin hypercube sampling, considered the change process about fatigue crack propagation, as well as the effect of random variables on the failure assessment curve. The paper also analyzed the specific example with this method. The results showed that this method was simpler and more effective, which had some value of applications in engineering.
