Abstract: Non-Gaussian processes beset many aspects of structural engineering analysis. To estimate non-Gaussian processes, various third-order Hermite polynomial models have been proposed and widely applied. Different forms of ...

Abstract: The joint extreme value distribution (JEVD) of multivariate random processes is important for evaluating the system reliability of a structure subjected to random vibrations. There are very limited analytical approaches ...

Abstract: Implementation of lightweight lowductility materials such as aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys and composite materials has become urgently needed for automotive manufacturers to improve the competitiveness of their products. ...

Abstract: In determining structural responses under random excitation using the Monte Carlo method, simulation of non-Gaussian processes is always a challenge. Various methods have been developed to simulate non-Gaussian processes ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the first passage problem of linear systems subjected to non-Gaussian excitations by means of simulation. A non-Gaussian simulation technique based on the unified Hermite polynomial model (UHPM) is ...

Abstract: Bayesian inference based on computational simulations plays a crucial role in model-informed damage diagnostics and the design of reliable engineering systems, such as the miter gates studied in this article. While Bayesian ...
