Abstract:

The safety requirements for commercial and military aircraft specify extremely high reliability for engines. Traditional Monte Carlo techniques are hindered by the complexity of failure modes in aircraft engines, which require complex computational methods and impractical computation time to determine the probability of failure. This paper will review some of the methods that have been used to produce quicker estimates of the probability of failure, summarizing the pros and cons of each.
