Dynamic response analysis for structures with interval parameters
Su Huan Chen, Hua Dong Lian and Xiao Wei Yang (China)

 
Abstract
    In this paper, a new method to solve the dynamic response problem for structures with
interval parameters is presented. It is difficult to obtain all possible solutions with sharp bounds even an
optimum scheme is adopted when there are many interval structural parameters. With the interval
algorithm, the expressions of the interval stiffness matrix, damping matrix and mass matrices are
developed. Based on the matrix perturbation theory and interval extension of function, the upper and
lower bounds of dynamic response are obtained, while the sharp bounds are guaranteed by the interval
operations. A numerical example, dynamic response analysis of a box cantilever beam, is given to
illustrate the validity of the present method.
 
Key Words
    interval extension of function; interval characters matrices; matrix perturbation theory; interval of dynamic response.
