Abstract: This paper efficiently determined exact stochastic responses of orthotropic rectangular Kirchhoff plates under stationary and nonstationary random excitations in a semianalytical manner. The transcendental frequency equations ...

Abstract: A novel approach for nonlinear stochastic dynamic analysis is proposed and illustrated with nonlinear building structures subjected to mainshock–aftershock sequences. First, a stochastic seismic sequence model with stochastic ...
