Popis: This paper presents an update of a reliability-based damage tolerance (RBDT) analysis methodology implemented in the Probabilistic Function Evaluation System (ProFES) software. The foundation of the RBDT methodology is a two-stage importance sampling (TIS) method that simulates inspection and repair effects in the short-life domain. The analytical formulation developed earlier for single inspection with perfect repair allowed reuse of the crack growth history data. However, depending on the inspection and repair policies and procedures, the longer-life parts may as well be inspected and repaired/replaced that could result in failures not considered in the TIS approach. This error is addressed in this paper using an analytical formulation for a single inspection with general repair models that would allow reuse of the crack growth history if the detected parts are replaced by original parts. Efficient computational strategies are discussed and demonstrated using a rotorcraft example problem.
