Abstract
Many papers concerning structural system reliability under the constraint of statical strength have been published in the past 10 years: several preliminary papers combining this with the constraint of fatigue strength also have been published: however papers combining it with the constraint of damage tolerance design are rarely seen. The present paper presents a methodology combining fracture mechanics with structural system reliability theory in order to solve the panel reliability analysis problem based on the requirement of damage tolerance design. The panel under consideration is constituted by a plate and several stringers. Some illustrative examples are given. Based on the physical concepts and computational results some conclusions concerning the reliability and design are drawn.
