    Standard risk calculations often violate independence assumptions. This study introduces a Monte Carlo simulation model for coupled component failure probabilities, improving uncertainty analysis in reliability assessments.

    Area of Science:

    • Risk Analysis
    • Reliability Engineering
    • Computational Statistics

    Background:

    • Standard Monte Carlo simulation in uncertainty analysis relies on the assumption of independence.
    • This independence assumption is frequently violated in real-world risk calculations.
    • Knowledge dependence between component failure probabilities is often overlooked.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a model for Monte Carlo simulation that accounts for coupled variabilities in component failure probabilities.
    • To address the violation of independence assumptions in standard uncertainty analysis.
    • To compare the model's results with existing methods and studies.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a Monte Carlo simulation model incorporating negative or positive coupling of component failure probabilities.

  • Applied the model to case studies in human reliability analysis.
  • Compared results against Sandia Laboratories' Peer Review Study and recent uncertainty analysis techniques.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed model effectively handles dependent variabilities in component failure probabilities.
    • Results demonstrate significant differences compared to standard independence-assumption methods.
    • The model provides a more realistic uncertainty quantification for coupled systems.

    Conclusions:

    • Knowledge dependence is a critical factor in risk calculations that necessitates advanced modeling.
    • The presented Monte Carlo simulation model offers a robust approach for uncertainty analysis with dependent variables.
    • This methodology enhances the accuracy of risk assessments, particularly in human reliability analysis.
