Abstract
This paper deals with the evaluations of lower and upper bounds of dynamic responses and natural frequencies for structures with uncertain interval parameters. The structural physical parameters, geometric dimensions and initial conditions can be considered as interval parameters. The modified Chebyshev interval method (MCIM) is presented to handle the uncertainties. In comparison with the Chebyshev interval method (CIM), MICM provides with tighter bounds of the time responses and natural frequencies without a significant increase in computation time. Monte Carlo method is also used to provide with exact bounds. MICM, CIM and Monte Carlo method are applied for structures with interval parameters, and the efficiency and accuracy of CIM and MCIM are verified.
