Uncertain static plane stress analysis of continuous structure involving interval fields is investigated in this study. Unlike traditional interval analysis of discrete structure, the interval field is adopted to model the uncertainty, as well as the dependency between the physical locations and degrees of variability, of all interval system parameters presented in the continuous structures. By implementing the flexibility properties of some common structural elements, a new computational scheme is proposed to reformulate the uncertain static plane stress analysis with interval fields into standard mathematical programming problems. Consequently, feasible upper and lower bounds of structural responses can be effectively yet efficiently determined. In addition, the proposed method is adequate to deal with situations involving one-dimensional and two-dimensional interval fields, which enhances the pertinence of the proposed approach by incorporating both discrete and continuous structures. In addition, the proposed computational scheme is able to establish the realizations of the uncertain parameters causing the extreme structural responses at zero computational cost. The applicability and credibility of the established computational framework are rigorously justified by various numerical investigations. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
