Introduction to Structural Reliability: A Data Science Perspective

Leave a Comment / Concepts, Structural Reliability / Shihab

Understanding the Basics of Structural Reliability Structural reliability is a crucial concept in engineering that deals with the estimation of a structure’s safety level under uncertainty. Unlike deterministic approaches that provide single numbers with no variation, structural reliability focuses on probabilities, reflecting real-world uncertainties in material properties, loads, and other factors. Just think about
