Abstract
A new procedure for the random vibration analysis of hysteretic structures using stochastic equivalent linearization is reported. Its aim is to improve the prediction of the response obtained by conventional Gaussian linearization technique. To this purpose, mixed discrete-continuous [...]
Abstract
As the recent research by Trybicki and Sobczyk has demonstrated [1-3] the principle of maximum entropy is a powerful tool for solving stochastic differential equations. In particular, its use in connection with the moment equations generated by the Ito formula provides accurate [...]
