Dynamic Analysis of Non-Linear Structures by the Method of Statistical Quadratization (Lecture Notes in Engineering)
Dynamic Analysis of NonLinear Structures by the Method of Statistical Quadratization - Lecture Notes in Engineering Author:M. G. Donley, P. D. Spanos This book deals with a new technique for dynamic analysis of nonlinear structures. A special feature is the technique of equivalent quadratization which allows one to deal with complex nonlinear problems in a very systematic manner. The applicability of this method is especially important for dealing with offshore structures which are exposed to... more » nonlinear forces due to waves. The reader is expected to have a fundamental knowledge of calculus and some background in the area of random variables and stochastic processes. The book is intended for engineers and applied scientists who deal with non-linear vibrations and have particular interest in the area of offshore engineering.« less
