Abstract: The method of quasiconservative averaging, developed originally to treat the random vibration of a system with a strongly nonlinear stiffness and under white-noise excitations, is modified to apply to the case of nonwhite ...

Abstract: Three related analytical thermal models of plane heat source moving obliquely along the surface of a semi-infinite solid are presented. The temperature distribution of grinding zone under deep-cut ...

Abstract: Equivalent stochastic systems are defined as randomly excited dynamical systems whose response vectors in the state space share the same probability distribution. In this paper, the random ...

Abstract: Approximate probability distributions of certain response variables are obtained for hysteretic systems under Gaussian white-noise excitations. The approximate method used is a generalization of a ...

Abstract: The event in which the response of a randomly excited dynamical system passes, for the first time, a critical magnitude z c is investigated. When the response variable in question can be ...

Abstract: Nonlinear deformations can occur when a structural frame is subjected to strong earthquake excitations, and they occur most frequently at the column-footing and/or column-beam junctions. A procedure is developed herein to ...

Abstract: A theoretical procedure is described for the dynamic response analysis of engineering structures composed of interconnected slender members. Each structural member is treated as a multichannel waveguide, and the entire ...

Abstract: Based on an energy method analyses of magnetoelastic buckling and bending of ferromagnetic thin plates in transverse, oblique, and longitudinal fields are performed in this paper. A general ...

Abstract: The rigid block considered here represents an idealized model for a piece of equipment, a monument, a storage tank, or even a tall building, which may topple by rocking under intense ground shaking at its base during an ...
