“Calculating the Probability of Exceeding Yield Strength”

1. Repeat the example “Calculating the Probability of Exceeding Yield Strength” with the force F assuming the following distributions:

• Normal

• Lognormal

Use the following parameters:

• μ = 11,300 N

• σ = 1, 250 N

1. Run the simulation with 1,000 simulations (N) and 1 replication (m).
2. Repeat the simulation with 1,000 simulations (N) and 3 replications (m).
3. Explain the behavior of the probability of failure compared against the system material strength, i.e., P(S>30MPa).\
