Abstract: Structures made of functionally graded materials have attracted much interest recently. The idea is to create a material that fulfills a specified function in accordance to the identified purpose of structure's utilization. ...

Abstract: In this paper, interval fractional derivatives are presented. We consider uncertainty in both the order and the argument of the fractional operator. The approach proposed takes advantage of the property of Fourier and ...

Abstract: This paper studies the propagation of uncertainties on serviceability assessment of footbridges in unrestricted traffic condition based on a nondeterministic approach. Multipedestrian loading is modeled as a stationary ...

Abstract: In the framework of stochastic analysis, the extreme response value of a structural system is completely described by its CDF. However, the CDF does not represent a direct design provision. A more meaningful parameter is ...
