A New Approach - Convexity Modelling - to an Old Research Topic Buckling of Viscoelastic and Nonlinear Elastic Structures with Uncertain Imperfections

主要研究人员建议研究粘弹性板中缺陷的不确定性及其对屈曲的影响。主要目的是研究缺陷敏感性分析中不确定性的新概念--凸建模的可行性。将与经典的随机分析技术进行比较。静力屈曲和动态屈曲都要考虑。

Principal Investigator proposed to study the uncertainty in imperfections in viscoelastic plates, and their effects on buckling. The main objective is to investigate the feasibility of convex modeling - a new concept of uncertainty in imperfection sensitivity analysis. Comparison will be made against classical techniques of stochastic analysis. Both static and dynamic buckling are to be considered.
