This volume contains eighteen selected papers presented at the Second International Conference on Stochastic Structural Dynamics, which are related to new practical applications in the field. This and a companion volume, related to new theoretical developments, constitute the proceedings of the conference, and reflect the state of the art of the rapidly developing subject. The conference was held in Boca Raton, Florida during May 9-11, 1990 hosted by the Center for Applied Stochastic Research of Florida Atlantic University. A total of 20 technical sessions were organized, and attended by eighty participants from 12 countries. Special emphases of the conference were placed on two areas: appli...
Nonlinearity and stochastic structural dynamics is of common interest to engineers and applied scientists belonging to many disciplines. Recent research in this area has been concentrated on the response and stability of nonlinear mechanical and structural systems subjected to random escitation. Simultaneously the focus of research has also been directed towards understanding intrinsic nonlinear phenomena like bifurcation and chaos in deterministic systems. These problems demand a high degree of sophistication in the analytical and numerical approaches. At the same time they arise from considerations of nonlinear system response to turbulence, earthquacke, wind, wave and guidancy excitations. The topic thus attracts votaries of both analytical rigour and practical applications. This books gives important and latest developments in the field presenting in a coherent fashion the research findings of leading international groups working in the area of nonlinear random vibration and chaos.
This book deals with recent advances relating to design, assessment and repair of structures subjected to repeated loading. Written by researchers from around the world this book will be of interest to those concerned with structural engineering.
These proceedings consist of extended abstracts of the papers presented at the ASCE Engineering Mechanics Conference held in Columbus, Ohio, May 1991. The first volume is divided into three parts: computational mechanics, fluid mechanics, and biomechanics--discussing such specialized subjects as neural network computing; symbolic processing; damage mechanics; ocean wave dynamics; fluid-structure interaction; joint kinematics; and contact problems in biomechanics. Volume two is concerned with structural and material mechanics including such topics as: vibration analysis of structures; chaotic vibrations; fracture and failure analysis; seismic analysis; microstructure analysis; and micromechanics.
