Out-of-Plane Vibrations of Plane Frames
The frame vibrations studied in Chaps. 3 to 5 are for in-plane vibrations. If a plane frame acted upon by a force or horizontal ground vibration in...

Vibrations of Frames with Inclined Members
The model established for the vibration of the inclined bars in the last chapter now is applied to two- and three-bar frames with inclined members.

Vibrations of X-Braced Multi-Story Frames
The study of vibrations for the x-braced portal frames in the last chapter is extended to high-rise x-braced multi-story frames in this chapter....

Dumbbell Model for Dilute and Semi-Dilute Solutions
Dumbbell models are very crude representations of polymer molecules. Too crude to be of much interest to a polymer chemist, since it in no way...

Conical Shells of Linearly Varying Thickness Subjected to Normal Loads
The equilibrium equations for a surface element of a conical shell in the framework of generalized plane stress of linear theory of elasticity are...
-
Equilibrium Statistics: Monte Carlo Methods
Monte Carlo methods use random numbers, or ‘random’ sequences, to sample from a known shape of a distribution, or to extract distribution by other...
-
A Imperfection Data Bank
For the stochastic modeling of geometric imperfections as described in Sec. 12.1, a database [5] has been available. This database provides...

9 Direct Monte Carlo Simulation
The evaluation of the stochastic response by the Monte Carlo simulation technique is a powerful method for highly nonlinear systems as well as for...
-
11 Random Vibrations of Large Finite Element Systems
The basic idea for the computation of the stochastic response is based on the Karhunen-Loève expansion of the stochastic loading. For each Karhunen-...

5 Non-Linear Static Analysis
The state of the art in the capability to predict the stability behavior of shell structures refers to areas such as asymptotic analysis [69] and...
