Discussion on "Structural reliability analysis through fuzzy number approach, with application to stability"
We comment on the fuzzy number approach presented by Marco Savoia [Comput. Struct. 80 (2002) 1087]. Savoia's statement regarding computational procedures for fuzzy structural analysis is corrected. A general and powerful numerical algorithm for nonlinear fuzzy structural analysis is presented. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
