Zone-Based Risk Assessment Define zones based on similar stress, inspection, anomaly distribution, lifetime Total probability of fracture for zone: (probability of having a defect) x (POF given a defect) Defect probability determined by anomaly distribution, zone volume POF assuming a defect computed with Monte Carlo sampling or advanced methods POF for disk obtained by summing zone probabilities As individual zones become smaller (number of zones increases), risk converges down to “exact” answer 6 Case Studies
