Uncertainty in marine structural strength with application to compressive failure of longitudinally stiffened panels

It is important in structural analysis and design, whether deterministic or reliability-based, to know the level of uncertainty for the methods of strength prediction. The uncertainty associated with strength prediction is the result of ambiguity and vagueness in the system. This study addresses the...
