The sensitivity analysis of hysteretic systems under nonstationary random excitations is of
great concern to the stochastic optimal design and control of structures. The equivalent …

In this paper, an efficient approach is proposed for seismic reliability analysis of nonlinear
structures with random parameters subjected to non-stationary stochastic ground motions …

Large-span bridges are often subjected to spatially varying ground motion (SVGM)
excitations. Meanwhile, bridge structures and ground motion excitations generally present a …

This paper is devoted to stochastic response analysis of large-scale bridges with local
plastic deformations under non-stationary random seismic excitations. A force-based fiber …

The seismic reliability assessment (SRA) of complex nonlinear structures which possess
structural and seismic uncertainty is an open challenge for academics and practical …

A fundamental limitation of various Equivalent Linearization Methods (ELMs) in nonlinear
random vibration analysis is that they are approximate by their nature. A quantity of interest …

This paper introduces a stochastic simulator for seismic uncertainty quantification, which is
crucial for performance‐based earthquake engineering. The proposed simulator extends the …

In this paper, a novel fractional equivalent linearization (NFEL) approach is developed by
introducing fractional derivative term into the conventional equivalent linear equation. By …

Fault diagnosis is critical to any maintenance industry, as early fault detection can prevent
catastrophic failures as well as be a waste of time and money. Traditional methods involve a …

This paper concerns the evolutionary transitional probability density functions (PDFs) and
the mean upcrossing rates (MCRs) of responses of the non-smoothly damped stochastic …
