Efficient explicit formulation for practical fuzzy structural analysis

This paper presents a practical approach based on High Dimensional Model Representation (HDMR) for analysing the response of structures with fuzzy parameters. The proposed methodology involves integrated finite element modelling, HDMR based response surface generation, and explicit fuzzy analysis procedures. The uncertainties in the material, geometric, loading and structural parameters are represented using fuzzy sets. To facilitate efficient computation, a HDMR based response surface generation is employed for the approximation of the fuzzy finite element response quantity.
