Root-Sum-Square and Extreme Value Analysis 9

3. Create the tolerance array:

[ -Tr

T:= Tr

-Te] Te [ ~).01 T= 0.01 4. Create the swapped tolerance array:

-o.os] 0.05

M=[l.Ol 0.99

0.99

1.01 0.95] 1.05

5. Get the extreme values by multiplying the function components by the swapped array M:

Vev= [ 7.089] 7.914

RSS methods require knowing some aspects of a statistical distribution known as Gaussian (sometimes called normal) distribution. The

general characteristics of this familiar bell-shaped curve are given below:

u(x) is known as the cumulative normal probability distribution and c is a normalizing constant.
