This is an open access article under the CC BY-NC-ND license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/) abstract: Reliability analysis has gained prominence as a stochastic approach to incorporate uncertainties in structural analysis. This study presents a novel methodology for evaluating the sensitivity of the crack tip stress intensity factor in a shallow shell structure. The work focuses on the reliability analysis of a shallow shell structure containing a crack originating from the corner of a fuselage window. The analysis incorporates uncertainties in both geometrical and loading parameters. The sensitivity of the crack tip stress intensity factors with respect to the considered uncertainties is determined. The Implicit Differentiation Method (IDM)-based First-Order Reliability Method (FORM) is utilized, and the results are compared to the results obtained from Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS), with a maximum difference of 2.99%. The reliability analysis aids in determining an appropriate inspection crack size that satisfies safety requirements, consequently facilitating the selection of the corresponding inspection technique. date: 2024-01-01 date_type: published publisher: Elsevier official_url: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prostr.2023.12.069 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2257390 doi: 10.1016/j.prostr.2023.12.069 lyricists_name: Morse, Llewellyn lyricists_id: LMORS85 actors_name: Flynn, Bernadette actors_id: BFFLY94 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public pres_type: paper publication: Procedia Structural Integrity volume: 52 pagerange: 690-698 issn: 2452-3216 book_title: Procedia Structural Integrity citation: Zhuang, M; Morse, L; Khodaei, ZS; Aliabadi, MH; (2024) Reliability-based Fracture Analysis for Shallow Shell Structure with the Dual Boundary Element Method.
