2
University of Texas at San Antonio Objectives Compute the sensitivities of the probability of fracture with respect to the random variable parameters, e.g., median, cov No additional sampling Currently implemented: Life scatter (median, cov) Stress scatter (median, cov) Exceedance curve (amin, amax) Expandable to others
3
University of Texas at San Antonio Probabilistic Sensitivities Three sensitivity types computed Zone Conditional - based on Monte Carlo samples SS, PS, EC Unconditional - based on conditional results SS, PS, EC Disk Stress scatter - one result for all zones Exceedance curve - one result for all zones using a particular exceedance curve (currently one) Life scatter - different for each zone 95% confidence bounds developed for each
4
University of Texas at San Antonio Conditional Probabilistic Sensitivities Enhance existing Monte Carlo algorithm to compute probabilistic sensitivities (assumes a defect is present)
5
University of Texas at San Antonio Conditional Probabilistic Sensitivities BT - Denotes Boundary Term needed if perturbing the parameter changes the failure domain, e.g., a min, a max Thus the boundary term is f(a max ). This term is an upper bound to the true BT in N dimensions

University of Texas at San Antonio Zone Sensitivities Partial derivative of probability of fracture of zone with respect to parameter number of zones affected by

University of Texas at San Antonio Disk Sensitivities Partial derivative of probability of fracture of disk with respect to parameter number of zones affected by
14
University of Texas at San Antonio Procedure For every failure sample: Evaluate conditional sensitivities Divide by number of samples Add boundary term to amax sensitivity Estimate confidence bounds Results per zone and for disk
