4.13 EXERCISES
4.1. e length of a component is L D 3:25 ˙ 0:010
00
. Determine its mean and standard
deviation if it is treated as a normal distribution.
4.2. e cross-section of a rectangular shape is with a height h D 1:25 ˙ 0:008
00
and a width
b D 2:25 ˙ 0:010
00
. ese dimensions can be treated as normal distributions. Determine
their distribution parameters.
4.3. e concentrated load P on a beam is P D 1520 ˙ 200 (lb). Determine its distribution
parameters if it treated as a normal distribution.
4.4. e torque T of a shaft is a uniform distribution between 2100 (lb/in) and 2500 (lb/in).
Determine its PDF and distribution function.
4.5. e bending moment M on the free end of a cantilever beam is M D 2215 ˙ 300
(lb/in). Determine its mean and standard deviation if it is treated as a normal distri-
bution.
4.6. Conduct literature research to find the distribution parameters of yield strength or ul-
timate strength of two steel materials. e source, test method, and sample size should
be included in the summary.
