Enhanced uncertain structural analysis with time- and spatial-dependent (functional) fuzzy results

The main goal of this contribution is the formulation of time and spatial dependency based on the continuous space, which allows the general application to structural analysis. Furthermore, the computation of a large amount of fuzzy result quantities is addressed. Therefore, a fuzzy analysis on the basis of a specific fuzzy sampling is introduced. The third aspect discussed is the enhanced fuzzy structural analysis, an approach to compute, visualise and evaluate functional fuzzy results. The necessity and usefulness of these procedures, in terms of identifying failure modes and weak points, is discussed by two examples.
