VL - 863 Y1 - 2020/// SN - 17578981 PB - Institute of Physics Publishing N2 - The reliability of complex systems can be quantified using probabilistic finite element analysis. A widely accepted approach is interlacing of probabilistic methods with commercial finite element solvers for evaluating the fatigue life. In this paper, the deflection of a beam is calculated using finite element method (ABAQUS® commercial software), then the results of the simulated model are employed in MATLAB®, which is used to determine the probability, reliability and the reliability index. It was found that the reliability index is around 1.2428, while the reliability value is calculated to be around 0.8930. From the calculations the values of the probability of failure (POF) was found to be around 0.1070. Finally, the results of the calculated maximum deflection have been compared and a good agreement is found. © 2020 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
