Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a structural beam with a mean strength of 100 kN and a standard deviation of 10 kN. Apply Monte Carlo Simulation with 5000 iterations to estimate the probability of failure under various loading conditions with a mean load of 90 kN and a standard deviation of 15 kN.

💡 Hint: Use the normal distribution to generate load and strength values.

Question 2

Evaluate the impact of increasing the standard deviation of the load on the reliability index of the structure. Perform a Monte Carlo Simulation with varying standard deviations and discuss the outcomes.

💡 Hint: Consider how uncertainty influences the structural integrity.
