Abstract: An efficient method is presented for approximate computation of extreme value characteristics of the response of a linear structure subjected to nonstationary Gaussian excitation. The characteristics considered are the ...

Abstract: The objective of this investigation is to verify the applicability of a number of nonlinear damage accumulation theories in the context of composite FRP laminates subjected to simulated stochastic loadings. Although nonlinear ...

Abstract: Results are presented from a study on fatigue damage accumulation in fiber-reinforced plastic coupons and joints. The main objective of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of the Palmgren-Miner linear damage ...
