Evaluation of human and organization factors in design of marine structures: Approaches and applications
- Univ. of California, Berkeley, CA (United States)
This paper addresses evaluation of human and organization factors in design, reliability, and quality of marine structures. Complimentary approaches to develop such evaluations are discussed. Sources of quantifications in performing probabilistic evaluations of human and organization factors are summarized. An example is developed to illustrate application of qualitative and quantitative analyses to one portion of the design of a ship structures: Finite Element Analyses (FEA) of Critical Structural Details (CSD). Based on recent experience with FEA of CSD in ship structures, typical sources of errors in such analyses are defined and discussed. The effects of improvements in the human and organization aspects of FEA of CSD are discussed and illustrated.
