Abstract: The response of structural dynamical systems excited by multiple random excitations is considered. Two new procedures for evaluating global response sensitivity measures with respect to the excitation components are proposed. ...

Abstract: The problem of determining the probability distribution function of extremes of Von Mises stress, over a specified duration, in linear vibrating structures subjected to stationary, Gaussian random ...

Abstract: The problem of determining the statistics of the transient response of randomly inhomogeneous beams is formulated. This is based on the use of stochastic dynamic stiffness coefficients in conjunction with the fast Fourier ...

Abstract: The problem of determining the joint probability distribution of extreme values associated with a vector of stationary Gaussian random processes is considered. A solution to this problem is developed by approximating the ...

Abstract: The probability distribution of the eigenvalues of a second-order stochastic boundary value problem is considered. The solution is characterized in terms of the zeros of an associated initial ...

Abstract: This article is an update of an earlier paper by Ibrahim (1987) and is aimed at reviewing the work published during the last decade in the area of vibration of structures with parameter ...

Abstract: A method is presented to find nonstationary random seismic excitations with a constraint on mean square value such that the response variance of a given linear system is maximized. It is also possible to incorporate the ...
