Abstract This paper targets to analyse the static response of structures with fuzzy parameters using fuzzy finite element method. Here the material, geometrical properties and external load applied to the structures are taken as uncertain. Uncertainties presents in the parameters are modelled through convex normalised fuzzy sets. Fuzzy finite element method converts the problem into fuzzy or fully fuzzy system of linear equations for static analysis. As such here, two new methods are proposed to solve the fuzzy and fully fuzzy system of linear equations. Numerical examples for structures with uncertain system parameters that are in term of triangular fuzzy number… More >

Abstract We consider a fuzzy linear system with crisp coefficient matrix and with an arbitrary fuzzy number in parametric form on the right-hand side. It is known that the well-known existence and uniqueness theorem of a strong fuzzy solution is equivalent to the following: The coefficient matrix is the product of a permutation matrix and a diagonal matrix. This means that this theorem can be applicable only for a special form of linear systems, namely, only when the system consists of equations, each of which has exactly one variable. We prove an existence and uniqueness theorem, which can be use on… More >

Abstract In this paper, linear systems with a crisp real coefficient matrix and with a vector of fuzzy triangular numbers on the right-hand side are studied. A new method, which is based on the geometric representations of linear transformations, is proposed to find solutions. The method uses the fact that a vector of fuzzy triangular numbers forms a rectangular prism in n-dimensional space and that the image of a parallelepiped is also a parallelepiped under a linear transformation. The suggested method clarifies why in general case different approaches do not generate solutions as fuzzy numbers. It is geometrically proved that if… More >
