Abstract
Materials, which are intended to be used to safely, are often the source of hazards. The source may grow probabilistically into the hazards. Thus, the risk associated with materials has yet not been discussed quantitatively.In the present paper, the hidden risks associated with materials which lead to failure accidents, are extracted and analyzed quantitatively, using data base and case study analyses of failure accidents.Data bases and case studies of failure accidents have been shown to be useful in extracting hidden risk factors associated with materials. Hidden risks associated with materials are classified herein into three categories: material-intrinsic-risk, material-induced-risk and material-shared-risk. Finally, quantitative analysis of the hidden risk associated with materials is discussed.
