ABSTRACT
The paper presents an example of reliability analysis of shell structures susceptible to stability
loss from the condition of node snapping. In the reliability analysis of the structure,
uncertain parameters of the task are represented by uncorrelated random variables. The
approach used in the paper is an extension of the idea, which assumes the use of Neural
Networks (NNs) in Monte Carlo (MC) simulations to analyze the reliability of the structure.
For this purpose, it was necessary to build a simple hybrid system formed with the
two independent sequentially working Finite Element Method (FEM) and Neural Networks
applications.
