Abstract

This paper presents the analysis of a cantilevered beam under parametric uncertainties using FEMCAS a new software developed for structural analysis. The theoretical approach is described, including linear analysis module with parametric uncertainties - Monte Carlo simulation, the Perturbation method and the Neumann method. The perturbation method involves a Taylor series extension of the stiffness matrix and is a numerically less expensive alternative to the Monte Carlo method. The Neumann method applied in finite element analysis is known in the literature as Spectral Stochastic Finite Element Method and models the uncertainties using a modified first-order stochastic perturbation method together with a truncated Karhunen-Loeve expansion instead of the Taylor series. In the absence of parametric uncertainties, a modal analysis and forced vibration analysis were performed. Under parametric uncertainties, good correlation between Monte Carlo, Perturbation and Neumann methods was obtained. However, Perturbation and Neumann method obtained much lower simulation times which made those solutions much cheaper from computational perspective.
