Solution set This family of linear algebraic systems is usually written in a compact form and is called parametrized system of linear interval equations. The solution set of such system is defined as NFS workshop on Reliable Engineering Computing 2004

Results In this presentation there is only one example shown, however in the paper some other examples may be found. The results produced by the described method are compared with the results of the method called Random Sampling of Parameter Intervals which gives an inner enclosure of the solution set.

Example - description The exemplary plane truss structure is subjected to downward forces of 30 [kN] at nodes 2, 3, 4. All the bar elements have the same Young’s modulus E=7e10 [Pa], and the same cross-section area A=0.003 [m2]. The lengths (in meters) of the bars are shown in the figure. Now the stiffness of some of the bars (denoted in the figure with thick red lines) is assumed to be uncertain by 5%. NFS workshop on Reliable Engineering Computing 2004

Conclusions The problem of solving parametrized systems of linearinterval equations is very important in practicalapplications. Well known classical methods (e.g. Gauss Elimination) fail since they computeenclosure forthe solution set of nonparametrized systems which is generally muchlargerthen solution set of the parametrized ones. A direct method for solvingparaterized systems of linear interval equationswas proposed and checked to be usefullin structuremechanics. The method produced tightenclosure for the solutions set of parametrizedsystemsfor exemplary truss structures. NFS workshop on Reliable Engineering Computing 2004
