Coupling Neumann development and component mode synthesis methods for stochastic analysis of random structures
In this paper, we propose a method to calculate the first two moments (mean and variance) of the structural dynamics response of a structure with uncertain variables and subjected to random excitation.

| Summary: | In this paper, we propose a method to calculate the first two moments (mean and variance) of the structural dynamics response of a structure with uncertain variables and subjected to random excitation. For this, Newmark method is used to transform the equation of motion of the structure into a quasistatic equilibrium equation in the time domain. The Neumann development method was coupled with Monte Carlo simulations to calculate the statistical values of the random response. The use of modal synthesis methods can reduce the dimensions of the model before integration of the equation of motion. Numerical applications have been developed to highlight effectiveness of the method developed to analyze the stochastic response of large structures. |
