Abstract:
Reliability assessments are generally carried out via tests. When a complex system has no opportunity to experience a system-level test, Modelling & Simulations (M&S) will be the only approach to assess the system reliability, and the Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) for M&S becomes one of the most important techniques. With a method named Quantification of Margin and Uncertainty (QMU), reliability could be assessed as to make decisions whether the indices have reached the demands. With our newly proposed UQ method, QMU could be effectively actualized based on M&S. With an example of reliability assessment for a stockpiled product, the main ideas and the implementation of QMU are demonstrated.
