A fuzzy procedure for the static design of imprecise structures. (English) Zbl 1115.74052

Summary: This paper presents an efficient method which allows to characterize possible variations of the behaviour of a finite element model including imprecise data. The proposed method is integrated in the design phase of engineering structures and improves the prediction of numerical models in the case of static analysis. A numerical application to an industrial case highlights the effectiveness of these predictions with attractive computing times.
