Abstract: The dynamic response of a two degree-of-freedom system with autoparametric coupling to a wide band random excitation is investigated. The analytical modeling includes quadratic nonlinearity, and ...

Abstract: The random response of nonlinear dynamic systems involving stochastic coefficients is examined. A non-Gaussian closure scheme is outlined and employed to resolve an observed contradiction of the ...

Abstract: Concepts of risk and uncertainty are commonly used for designing and evaluating flood-related hydraulic structures. A general framework for estimating the uncertainty of the return period and risk is presented based on ...
