Abstract Recent industrial explosions globally have intensified the focus in mechanical engineering on designing infrastructure systems and networks capable of withstanding blast loading. Initially centered on high-profile facilities such as embassies and petrochemical plants, this concern now extends to a wider array of infrastructures and facilities. Engineers and scholars increasingly prioritize structural safety against explosions, particularly to prevent disproportionate collapse and damage to nearby structures. Urbanization has further amplified the reliance on oil and gas pipelines, making them vital for urban life and prime targets for terrorist activities. Consequently, there is a growing imperative for computational… More >

Abstract Two novel mathematical programming approaches are proposed to separately assess non-deterministic behaviour and stability of engineering structures against disparate uncertainties. Within the proposed computational schemes, uncertainties attributed by the material properties, loading regimes, as well as environmental influences are simultaneously incorporated and modelled by the interval approach. The proposed mathematical programming approaches proficiently transform the uncertain structural analyses into deterministic mathematical programs. Two essential aspects of structural analysis, namely linear structural behaviour and bifurcation buckling, have been explicitly investigated. Diverse verifications have been implemented to justify the accuracy and computational efficiency of the proposed approaches More >
