This work is a part of a project aimed at developing a model and procedure to evaluate the structural reliability of a laminate whose laminae properties are statistically known. The inputs consist of the laminae's elastic properties (deterministic in that they are not as closely related to manufacturing technology) and the derived allowable strengths (aleatoric variables), as well as the sequence (number, orientation, position) of the laminae in the laminate. The output, the laminate's structural reliability, allows determination of the laminate's collapse process, with the most probable lamina failure sequence.
