Two-Dimensional Interval Finite Element

Abstract

In this chapter, we will discuss two-dimensional interval finite elements, viz. plane truss, beam, plane frame, and linear triangular elements. Introduction to these elements has first been presented. Then, a systematic formulation of stiffness matrices and the elemental equations with intervals are established. The formulation of stiffness matrices and elemental equations is described by using interval finite element method. The interval parameters are transformed to crisp form by using parametric representation. Then the parametric forms of the intervals are operated through systematic procedure and interval stiffness matrices are obtained, which are then assembled and global system of ...
