β¦ Synopsis
In this paper, an elastoplastic analysis based on fuzzy mathematics and using finite element method will be described. The Drucker-Prager yield criterion and the elasto-plastic matrix are fuzzified for the non-linear analyses which adopt the initial stress method for the solution. A numerical example is given to illustrate the possible variations in the displacements and the extent of plastic zones at the discrete membership functions. A reliability index of a membership grade based on the concept of non-probabilistic entropy is also proposed.
