## Abstract

This paper deals with an interval and fuzzy generalized eigenvalue problem involving uncertain parameters. Based on a sufficient regularity condition for intervals, an interval filtering eigenvalue procedure for generalized eigenvalue problems with interval parameters is proposed, which iteratively eliminates the parts that do not contain an eigenvalue and thus reduces the initial eigenvalue bound to a precise bound. The same iterative procedure has been proposed for generalized fuzzy eigenvalue problems. In general, the solution of dynamic problems of structures using the finite element method (FEM) leads to a generalized eigenvalue problem. Based on the proposed procedures, various structural examples with an interval and fuzzy parameter such as triangular fuzzy number (TFN) are investigated to show the efficiency of the algorithms stated. Finally, fuzzy filtered eigenvalue bounds are depicted by fuzzy plots using the $α$-cut.
