Abstract: Several aspects of the problem of random vibration in nonlinear systems are discussed in terms of a particular set-up spring system. Exact solutions for the mean square response and the expected ...

Abstract: At a critical speed, a light aircraft can experience severe vibrations in steady flight in which the propeller blades vibrate at one frequency while the engine block vibrates at a lower ...

Abstract: The calculated response of a uniform beam to stationary random excitation depends greatly on the dynamical model postulated, on the damping mechanism assumed, and on the nature of the random ...

Abstract: The natural modes and natural frequencies for the first 701 modes of vibration of a uniform thin circular plate with free edges are tabulated for a homogeneous isotropic material with Poisson’s ...

Abstract: A statistical estimate of the extreme wave force per unit length acting on a section of a fixed cylindrical pile in a random sea-state is derived. The random motion of the sea is described ...

Abstract: When a uniform circular thin plate is excited at a point by a stationary wide-band random force process the transverse motion response at any point is also a wide-band random process. If ...

Abstract: An expression for predicting fatigue failure of a structure subjected to sinusoidal stress cycles of different amplitudes and different mean values is derived. The derivation is based on a ...
