Abstract: This study shows that the type of the analytical treatment that should be adopted for nonprobabilistic analysis of uncertainty depends on the available experimental data. The main idea is based ...

Abstract: Axisymmetric vibrations of a hollow piezoelectric sphere submerged in a compressible viscous fluid medium are investigated. The piezoelectric sphere is radially polarized. The differential equations ...

Abstract: Based on the measured static displacements, an improved interval analysis technique was proposed for the structural damage identification. Due to the scarcity of uncertain information, the ...

Abstract: Two nonprobabilistic set-theoretical treatments of the initial imperfection sensitive structure—a finite column on a nonlinear mixed quadratic-cubic elastic foundation—are presented. The minimum ...
