Abstract:

Nonstationary random vibrations occur in structural mechanics as well as in vehicle dynamics. Very often the nonstationary excitation process can be modelled as stationary white or colored noise modulated by a deterministic time function. In this case a completely algebraic method is available for the computation of the time-varying covariance matrix. The method is suitable also for high-order systems. Examples demonstrate the efficiency of the method for the investigation of structures under earthquake excitation.
