Abstract
In the paper, the most suitable probability distributions for SCFmax in DKT-Joints stiffened with FRP under axial loading conditions are studied. To this end, 1296 models were generated and then analyzed in the ANSYS to provide five reliable samples. Created FE models were validated using previous laboratory and FE data. Afterward, to predict the appropriate probability distribution models, 12 different kinds of distributions were utilized to check the fit distribution curve to the samples. Next, the accuracy and reliability of the distribution curves were assessed with the help of goodness-of-fit tests, such as the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) and the Chi-squared (CS). The results of the analysis reveal that the Birnbaum-Saunders distribution is the best option. Furthermore, based on the probability graphs, it was concluded that the developed distribution is suitable enough for the given data sets.
