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 r...

A novel fuzzy reasoning method, called FSI (fuzzy similarity inference) is investigated in this paper. Firstly, the unified forms of FSI which the diverse implication operators can be employed are proposed. And the computational formulas for both fuzzy modus ponens (FMP) and fuzzy modus tollens (FMT) are obtained. Secondly, the unified forms of α-FSI method are established, and the formulas for...

Ranking of fuzzy numbers play an important role in decision making problems. Fuzzy numbers must be ranked before an action is taken by a decision maker. Chen (Operations on fuzzy numbers with function principal, Tamkang Journal of Management Science 6 (1985) 13-25) pointed out that in many cases it is not to possible to restrict the membership function to the normal form and proposed the concep...

To improve the effectiveness of the fuzzy identification, a structure identification method based on moving rate is proposed for T-S fuzzy model. The proposed method is called " T-S modeling (or T-S fuzzy identification method) based on moving rate ". First, to improve the shortcomings of existing fuzzy reasoning methods based on matching degree, the moving rates for s-type, z-type and trapezoi...

In this article, we describe the fuzzy logic, fuzzy language and algorithms as the basis of fuzzy reasoning, one of the intelligent information processing method, and then describe the general fuzzy reasoning method.

In this paper a fuzzy method for determining appropriate structural design is presented. Non-stochastic uncertainty is quantified using fuzzy values and fuzzy random variables. Fuzzy structural parameters are processed on the basis of a generally applicable numerical method for arbitrary nonlinear fuzzy structural analyses. Fuzzy randomness is introduced into a fuzzy probabilistic safety assess...

Generalized modus ponens (GMP) is a basic model of approximate reasoning. GMP in fuzzy propositions called ponen (FMP) and it intuitionistic (IFMP) when are generalized to propositions. In this paper, we aim investigate reasoning methods for with mixture fuzzy/intuitionistic information. For mixed types GMP, present two solve problems based on the triple I method (TIM). One transform problem in...

The Chiu’s method which generates a Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) is a method of fuzzy rules extraction. The rules output is a linear function of inputs. Those rules are not explicit for the expert. This paper proposes a new method to generate Mamdani FIS, where the rules output is fuzzy. The method proceeds in two steps. The first step consists in using the subtractive clustering ...

Several authors have used ranking function for solving fuzzy linear programming problems. In this paper some fuzzy linear programming problems are chosen which can’t be solved by using any of the existing methods and a new method is proposed to solve such type of fuzzy linear programming problems. The main advantage of the proposed method over existing methods is that the fuzzy linear programmi...

With increased application of fuzzy logic in complex control systems, there is a need for a structured methodological approach in the development of fuzzy logic systems. Current fuzzy logic systems are developed based on individualistic bases and cannot face the challenge of interacting with other (fuzzy) systems in a dynamic environment. In this chapter a method for development of fuzzy system...
