Abstract: This paper addresses parametric random vibrations subjected to non-Gaussian delta-correlated processes as well as combinations of delta-correlated Gaussian and non-Gaussian processes. The scheme employs a response-moment ...

Abstract: This paper develops response cumulant differential equations (CDEs) that can be used to calculate response cumulants for dynamic systems under non-Gaussian, delta-correlated excitations. The derived CDEs apply to both ...

Abstract: This study presents an analytical method for calculating the fourth‐moment properties of the response of linear systems to a Morison‐type nonlinear random wave loading. The method is applicable to general cases with no ...

Abstract: The assumption of probabilistic independence is commonly made in engineering analysis to gain mathematical tractability. Although the criteria of the independence of random variables have been presented in many different ...

Abstract: This paper presents an efficient method for calculating the response statistics of dynamic systems subjected to Poisson‐distributed (non‐Gaussian) pulse processes. The procedure to be followed is based on an extension of ...

Abstract: Frequency-domain methods are usually more efficient computationally than time-domain methods to compute the responses of linear dynamic systems. However, a common drawback of frequency-domain methods is that computed ...

Abstract: Traditionally the usage of a tuned mass damper (TMD) is to improve the survivability of the primary structure under an extraordinary loading environment while the design loading condition is often described by a harmonic ...
