Abstract

A direct integration algorithm to solve the spatially discretized equations of motion of a structure is proposed. This algorithm formulates the equations of motion in state space and uses their analytical solution to derive a recursive discrete-time equation. The proposed structural [...]

Abstract

Stochastic hybrid systems arise in numerous applications of systems with multiple models; e.g., air traffc management, flexible manufacturing systems, fault tolerant control systems etc. In a typical hybrid system, the state space is hybrid in the sense that some components take values [...]
