The objectives of this study are detailed as follows: (1) Provide a methodology for assessing the reliability level of the structure of existing ships. The computerized methodology will estimate failure probabilities associated with each identified failure mode. (2) Select four ships and perform reliability analysis relative to each identified failure mode for each select ship. (3) Recommend minimum acceptable reliability levels for each ship type and failure mode to be used as guidelines for ship designers for future ships. (4) Provide a methodology for performing sensitivity analysis of reliability levels to variations in design parameters, i.e., loads and stresses, materials and strength, and geometry of the structure. (5) On the basis of the sensitivity analysis performed, recommend design strategies that are likely to have the highest payoffs in terms of reliability.
