Fuzzy Finite Element based Solution of Uncertain Static Problems of Structural Mechanics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fuzzy finite element analysis for static displacements of beam structures with fuzzy forces is considered in this paper. The material properties of the beams are taken as crisp. Fuzzy finite element analysis of static problem for the above structures converts the problem into fuzzy system of linear equations. As such the coefficient matrix and the right hand side vector become crisp and fuzzy respectively. Here, a new method is proposed to solve the fuzzy system of linear equations. Numerical results for the beam structures are presented to illustrate the computational aspects of the developed method. The results obtained by the proposed method are compared with the existing solution method.

Finite element formulations based generally on classical beam theories such as Euler-Bernoulli or Timoshenko. Sometimes, these two formulations could be problematic expressed in terms of restrictions of Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, in case of thicker beams due to non-consideration of transverse shear; phenomenon that is known as shear locking characterized the Timoshenko beam theory, in case of...
