Abstract
⺠The reliability of fatigue prone structures is improved by maintenance scheduling. ⺠Fatigue cracks are modeled by means of cohesive elements. ⺠Fatigue crack growth and the outcome of inspections are affected by uncertainties. ⺠The optimal maintenance scheme is determined using reliability based optimization. ⺠The optimum is a trade off between the inspection, repair and failure costs.
