Probabilistic structural analysis methods provide a means to quantify the inherent risk of a design and assess the sensitivities of design variables. This report is intended to introduce the subject of probability analysis to engineers in the aerospace industry as well as act as a reference to guide those applying this technology. The current (deterministic) structural analysis approach is described, and its shortcomings are pointed out. The evolution of probabilistic analysis is presented, and the basic theory is discussed and explained via examples. Aerospace industry method development is described in detail, along with associated aerospace applications. An in-depth explanation of one industry method (Northrup Grumman) is given, along with an example run of their computer program. The report concludes with a consensus of potential benefits as well as potential issues of concern that must be addressed by those using these analysis methods.
