Description: An approach to the optimum design of structures, in which uncertainties with a fuzzy nature
in the magnitude of the loads are considered, is proposed in this study. The optimization process
under fuzzy loads is transformed into a fuzzy optimization problem based on the notion of
Wemers' maximizing set by defining membership functions of the objective function and
constraints. In this… more

Antioptimization of earthquake exitation and response

Contributors: Baratta, A., Elishakoff, Isaac, Zuccaro, G.
Description: The paper presents a novel approach to predict the response of earthquake-excited
structures. The earthquake excitation is expanded in terms of series of deterministic
functions. The coefficients of the series are represented as a point in N-dimensional
space. Each available accelerogram at a certain site is then represented as a point in
the above space, modeling the available fragmentary… more
