We present a novel framework for nonlinear stochastic dynamic analysis under generalized
(Gaussian and non-Gaussian) loading. First, the actual system involving high-dimensional …

One of the most popular hysteretic models used in many areas of engineering, especially
the civil one, is the Bouc-Wen model. Although this model is able to simulate several types of …

Random vibration analysis aims to estimate the response statistics of dynamical systems
subject to stochastic excitations. Stochastic differential equations (SDEs) that govern the …

The thermodynamic compatibility defined by the Drucker postulate applied to a
phenomenological hysteretic material, belonging to a recently formulated class, is hereby …

Gaussian mixture–based equivalent linearization method (GM‐ELM) is a recently developed
stochastic dynamic analysis approach which approximates the random response of a …

Three methods of stochastic equivalent linearizations defined in the broad framework of
structural reliability analysis are presented. These methods are (1) the Gaussian equivalent …

The dynamic analysis of a deepwater floating production systems has many complexities,
such as the dynamic coupling between the vessel and the riser, the coupling between the …

This study presents the reliability-based analysis of nonlinear structures using the analytical
fragility curves excited by random earthquake loads. The stochastic method of ground …

This study serves three purposes:(1) to review a synthesis formula for simulation of band-
limited stochastic processes based on the sinc expansion;(2) to implement this synthesis …

This paper estimates extreme midship wave bending moment of a ship in a specific sea
state using First Order Reliability Method (FORM) and the Tail Equivalent Linearization …
