Achieving Reliability in the Face of Extreme Uncertainty


Abstract eng:
Extreme uncertainty is the possibility of events that are beyond the range of experience. A mathematical framework, Decision Entropy Theory, is proposed here as a logical and defensible means to address extreme uncertainty. The basis for the theory is described and an illustrative example for the design of offshore structures is presented to demonstrate its use and significance. This example highlights the importance of developing adaptable design methods and products in achieving reliability in the face of extreme uncertainty.
