Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Probabilistic Mechanics and Structural and Geotechnical Reliability

Abstract:

A chaotic dynamics system generally turns a deterministic input into a random-like output. Although the response is not directly predictable in the deterministic sense, its probabilistic distribution may be unique. The engineering significance of such a phenomenon is discussed.
