Reliability assessment of steel tubes considering due to fracture

Cracks are most dangerous defects which can be found in real structures, Prediction of the crack instability is influenced by many factors of random nature. To take into account these random variables, SBRA approach can be adopted. The paper show how the probabilistic assessment can be used for calculation of fracture probability in a cracked pipe, as random variables, material properties and crack depth were assumed. The assessment resulted in fracture probability which can be compared with a target valu
