Abstract :
This article provides a numerical method to simulate the reliability of a complicated mechanical system with multiple input random parameters. The method bases on the theory of mechanical reliability and uses a commercial FEM software, ANSYS. The quantitative reliability of the mechanical system is obtained by Monte Carlo simulation. The method is verified by theoretical analysis and is applied to a real structure. This method has prevented the tedious mathematical calculation and is more economical than experimental methods. It can be used as a complement of traditional experimental methods.
