Abstract: This paper presents a novel method for obtaining analytical solutions for the nonstationary response of multidegree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems endowed with half fractional derivative elements and subjected to external ...

Abstract: This study proposes a framework for mapping the extreme wind speed for mainland China considering the directional effect. To this end, long-term observations of the daily maximum surface wind speed and associated wind ...

Abstract: In this study, a stochastic tropical cyclone (TC) intensity model based on a deterministic fast physics-based TC intensity model is developed for potential applications in the TC hazard assessment. To account for the effect ...

Abstract: A new technique is proposed for determining the response of multi-degree-of-freedom nonlinear systems with singular parameter matrices subject to combined stochastic and deterministic excitations. Singular matrices in the ...
