Summary
The dynamic analysis of linear structures with uncertain parameters subjected to
deterministic excitations is addressed. The fluctuating structural properties are
modelled as uncertain-but-bounded parameters using interval analysis. In this paper,
a novel procedure for estimating the lower and upper bounds of the dynamic
response is proposed. Basically, the method expresses the response as sum of the
interval particular solution, evaluated in approximate explicit form, and the interval
transient response obtained by means of approximate relationships. Once the sets of
ordinary differential equations governing the response are solved, the bounds of the
response are obtained by handy formulas.
