Popis: A probabilistic engineering critical assessment of embedded flaws in a pipeline was carried out as a case study using the limit state function based on both finite element analysis and the failure assessment diagram. The response surface model was used in determining the finite element analysis based limit state function in order to reduce the number of finite element analysis runs. The first order reliability method and second order reliability method were used to determine the probability of failure. This research work highlights the advantage of using specific limit state function for engineering critical assessment of embedded flaws.Copyright © 2011 by ASME
