Abstract: This study presents a new statistical cubicization approach for predicting the stochastic response of offshore platforms subjected to a Morison-type nonlinear drag loading. Statistics of the ...

Abstract: A wavelets-based method is developed to estimate the evolutionary power spectral density (EPSD) of nonstationary stochastic processes. The method relies on the property that the continuous wavelet transform of a nonstationary ...

Abstract: This paper presents a nonlocal Euler-Bernoulli beam model. It is assumed that the equilibrium of a beam segment is attained because of the classical local stress resultants, along with long-range volume forces and moments ...

Abstract: Fractional-order thermodynamics has proved to be an efficient tool to describe several small-scale and/or high-frequency thermodynamic processes, as shown in many engineering and physics applications. The main idea beyond ...

Abstract: A mechanically-based nonlocal Timoshenko beam model, recently proposed by the authors, hinges on the assumption that nonlocal effects can be modeled as elastic long-range volume forces and moments mutually exerted by ...

Abstract: Random vibrations of nonlinear systems subjected to Gaussian input are investigated by a technique based on statistical quadratization, and cubicization. In this context, and depending on the nature of the given nonlinearity, ...

Abstract: A statistical linearization technique is developed for determining second-order response statistics of beams with in-span elastic concentrated supports. The nonlinearities considered relate both to the support restoring ...
