Linear free vibrations with uncertain initial conditions

Research output: Contributions to collected editions/worksArticle in conference proceedingsResearchpeer-review

Authors

We study a one degree of freedom, linear free vibrating mass system where there is uncertainty about how the system starts off. The uncertain initial conditions are modeled by fuzzy numbers and an analytical approach is used to propagate the uncertainties through the computations. As a result, we obtain closed-form symbolic expressions for the whole spectrum of possible calculation results.
