Abstract

For some cases the rules of monosource fuzzy numbers can be used into the solution of fuzzy stochastic finite element equations in engineering. This method can reduce the computing quantity of the solution. It can be proved that the amount of the solution is nearly as much as that with the general stochastic finite element method (SFEM). In addition, a new method to appreciate the structural fuzzy failure probability is presented for the needs of the modern engineering design.
