In general, the probability of failure is determined by
The probability of failure is generally determined by both the deterioration mechanism and the effectiveness of the inspection program. The deterioration mechanism refers to how and why a material or structure may degrade over time, while the effectiveness of the inspection program assesses how well this degradation can be detected and monitored. Both factors are critical in assessing the likelihood of failure, making 'A&B' the correct answer.
9.4.1 ...the POF is determined by two main considerations: 1) Damage mechanism and rates 2) Effectiveness of the inspection program to identify and monitor the damage mechanisms ...... Therefore the answer should be D, i,e, both A and B.
