Abstract: An original method for calculating the maximum vibration amplitude of the periodic solution of a nonlinear system is presented. The problem of determining the worst maximum vibration is transformed into a nonlinear ...

Abstract: A hybrid approach which combines the reduced sequential quadratic programing (SQP) method with the shooting method is proposed to search the worst resonance response of nonlinear systems. The shooting method is first ...

Abstract: A hybrid approach is proposed to evaluate the probability of unacceptable performance with respect to uncertain parameters. The evaluation of structural reliability and the solution of maximum vibration response are performed ...

Abstract: In this study, thermal interface material (TIM) degradation is driven through highly accelerated life test (HALT) using temperature cycling with a prescribed vibrational acceleration for two commercially available materials ...
