Summary of May 6 lecture
The lecture on May 6 did not have slides and was not recorded. It introduced the concept of component reliability by reviewing Monte Carlo Simulation, identifying 5 key parts of a component reliability analysis, then using a graphical interpretation for introducing the FORM Method. The concepts are summarized in the workbook here. OpenTURNS is also introduced in the workbook. The next lecture on May 20 will further delve into the interpretation of component reliability analysis.
A special challenge was also presented: anyone who is able to successfully set up and solve the reliability problem from Workshop 1 in week 1 using OpenTURNS will get a prize if the solution in a notebook is shared with Robert by the beginning of the Friday workshop. The two key things that are required are to set up the limit state function and to use OpenTURNS to evaluate component reliability.
Remember also that in the previous announcement an update was given for lectures and workshops in the coming weeks, which you can find here.
Program for the coming up lectures
You can find here the program for the coming lectures this quarter. Note that some lectures will be Q&A or have been cancelled to accomodate events of the Faculty.
Week 2: Extreme Value Analysis workshop
Today we have the second workshop of the course on Extreme Value Analysis!
You can access the assignment here
Remember to send Patricia the information about the team and team members (name, github account and email), if you have not already done it. If not, she cannot grade you!
Lecture slides and homework for Week 2
Hope you have enjoyed the session on Extreme Value Analysis today and you are looking forward to applying it in the workshop next Friday!
You can find now the slides of the session here
Remember that the homework of this week is to prepare a function for a method to support the selection of the threshold and declustering time. You have all the information about those methods in the workbook. You also have additional videos on the topic of EVA here.
Week 1: Introduction
Hope you enjoyed the first workshop of Probabilistic Design: Save the dike!
The solution for the workshop has just been published in the workbook here.
Have a nice weekend!
Week 1: Introduction
Today we have the first workshop of Probabilistic Design: Save the dike!
You can decide to perform the assignments of the course individually or in teams up to 4 members. Please, note that you need to keep the same team/doing it individually for all the assignments. After the session, please, send Patricia Mares Nasarre an email with the name of the team and the team members (name of each group member, GitHub username of each group member and email of each group member).
In order to have access to the materials of this assignment, you will need to have a GitHub account. We will distribute the assignment via GitHub Classroom. The link to the assignment is here.
Note for people who wants to perform the assignment in teams: let a first member of the team join the classroom and create a team. Afterwards, that member of the team can share the link to the team so the rest of the members can join.
This assignment does not need to be submitted as it is not graded. The solutions will be published in the workbook and announced here.
Have fun!
