Fortuna.jl: Structural and System Reliability Analysisin Julia
In any field of engineering, addressing uncertainties is crucial to ensure the adequate reliability -the ability to function without failure -of structures and systems, such as residential and commercial buildings, bridges, nuclear power plants, energy distribution networks, transportation networks, and even electric circuits.In these systems, uncertainties are ubiquitous and present in their geometric and material properties, the demands acting on them, and the measurements used to assess their condition.Moreover, uncertainties can also be present in the probabilistic models used to quantify them.As a result of the irreducibility of some of these uncertainties, it is impossible to guarantee the absolute reliability and serviceability of a system at any given point in time with certainty.However, it is possible to define and quantify measures of reliability, such as the failure probability of a system under given demands, using probabilistic methods developed within the field of structural and system reliability.
