Abstract: In this paper, the challenge of quantifying the uncertainty in stochastic process spectral estimates based on realizations with missing data is addressed. Specifically, relying on relatively relaxed assumptions for the ...

Abstract: A novel Wiener path integral (WPI) technique exhibiting an enhanced degree of accuracy is developed for determining the stochastic response of nonlinear structural systems. Specifically, first, the system response joint ...
