Response Bounds of Elastic Structures in the Presence of Interval Uncertainties

TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical-programming (MP)-based approach is proposed to directly determine the two extreme minimum and maximum bounds of some static response quantity for elastic structures subject to the simultaneous application of interval applied forces and interval elastic material properties.

Systems Approach to Characterizing Aircraft Aeroelastic Model Variation for Robust Control Applications

TL;DR: In this paper, the frequency and mode shapes of the aeroelastic modes are not well known and these variations are usually treated through the use of an "uncertainty" or variation model.

Performance of flexible pavements

TL;DR: In this paper, a finite element computer program was developed to determine the stresses and strains in pavement layers and to correlate the pavement performance and the critical stress and strain values, and a regression equation for finding the lives of flexible pavements was established using the rut depth and subgrade vertical strain values.
