Abstract: A linear stochastic differential equation of order N excited by an external random force and whose coefficients are white noise random processes is studied. The external force may be either ...

Abstract: A linear stochastic differential equation of order N with colored noise random coefficients and random input is studied. An approximate expression for the autocorrelation of the response is ...

Abstract: Engineers utilize various codes in the process of design, whether structural, mechanical, or otherwise. Reliance on a code for design is based on the knowledge that a tremendous amount of time and effort was spent by ...

Abstract: This review examines the field of structural analysis where finite element methods (FEMs) are used in a probabilistic setting. The finite element method is widely used, and its application in ...

Abstract: A selective technical overview is presented on the vibration and control of large space structures, the analysis, design, and construction of which will require major technical contributions from the civil/structural, ...

Abstract: Offshore compliant structures such as guyed platforms, tension leg platforms and articulated towers are economically attractive for deep-water conditions because of their reduced structural weight compared to conventional ...

Abstract: A lunar base is an essential part of all the new space exploration programs because the Moon is the most logical first destination in space. Its hazardous environment will pose challenges for all engineering disciplines ...
