Laumakis, P. J.; Harlow, G. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2002
Analyzes a simple boom structure and assesses its reliability using elementary engineering mechanics. Demonstrates the power and utility of Monte-Carlo simulation by showing that such a simulation can be implemented more readily with results that compare favorably to the theoretical calculations.
