Abstract :
A finite strip method for the stochastic response of plate bending based on weighted integration and local average theory is presented. In this approach material properties and load are characterized by random field variables. As a special case, the use of the first order Taylor expansion yields a formulation for stochastic finite method without resorting to simulation techniques. The efficiency and accuracy of the stochastic finite strip approach and the stochastic finite element method are compared in some numerical examples
