Probabilistic Models
Probabilistic models are no better than the
underlying deterministic models
They require more work to implement
Why use them?

Quality and Cost


Taguchi
Identify factors that influence performance
Robust design reduce sensitivity to noise
Assess economic impact of variation

Risk / Reliability
What is the increased risk from reduced testing ?

Deterministic versus Random


Deterministic from past measurements the future position
of a satellite can be predicted with reasonable accuracy
Random from past measurements the future position of
a car can only be described in terms of probability and
statistical averages

Variability and uncertainty is accommodated by introducing


safety factors. Larger safety factors are better, but how much
better and at what cost?

3 Approach
3 contains 99.87% of the data
P( s < S ) = 2.3 10-3
If we use 3 on both stress and strength
P( failure)

P(

S ) 5.3 10

4 .5

The probability of the part with the lowest strength


having the highest stress is very small
For 3 variables, each at 3 :
P( failure)

Benefits
Reduces conservatism (cost) compared to
assuming the worst case for every design
variable
Quantifies life drivers what are the most
important variables and how well are they
known or controlled ?
Quantifies risk

P(failure) = 2 x 10-4
For this case only, a safety factor of 2 means a probability
of failure of 2 x 10-4. Other situations will require different
safety factors to achieve the same reliability.

Central Limit Theorem


If X1, X2, X3 .. Xn is a random sample from the population,
with sample mean X, then the limiting form of

as n

Probabilistic Fatigue

/ n

is the standard normal distribution

2003-2014 Darrell Socie, All Rights Reserved

42 of 108

Translation
When there are many variables affecting the outcome,
The final result will be normally distributed even if the
individual variable distributions are not.

As a result, normal distributions are frequently


assumed for all of the input variables

Key Points
All variables are random and can be characterized
by a statistical distribution with a mean and variance.
The final result will be normally distributed even if
the individual variable distributions are not.
