investigation of the
effects of error, variability, testing and
safety factors on aircraft safety, analyzed weight tradeoffs of coupon
tests, structural element tests and certification tests for aerospace
structures (PhD Thesis

exploring
the weight savings from cryogenic laminates (used in hydrogen tanks) by
uncertainty reduction (Paper)
-
analysis of the
effects of uncertainty reduction measures on the maximum allowable load of
a sandwich structure (Paper)
