STOCHASTIC LINEARIZATION OF SYSTEMS WITH HYSTERETIC CHARACTERISTICS
Journal Title: ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF TECHNICAL SCIENCES - APPLIED MECHANICS - Year 2014, Vol 59, Issue 3
Abstract
In this paper is presented a linearization method for a stochastic differential system with hysteretic characteristics and random excitation. The Gaussian equivalent linearization technique is applied to a system with hysteretic characteristic modeled by a Bouc-Wen equation. In order to verify the efficiency of the linearization method, the standard deviations of the equivalent linear system response are compared with those of Bouc-Wen nonlinear system for two case studies: Gaussian white noise and seismic inputs.

EVOLUTION AS PHYSICS
Thermodynamics today is the physics domain in which three previously selfstanding lines of thinking merged to cover the broadest range of natural phenomena to date. The three lines were work-heat-design, or mechanics-cal...
SIZE EFFECT ON STIFFNESS AND PULL-OFF FORCE OF THERMALLY ACTUATED GOLD CANTILEVERS
This paper focuses on revealing the size effect on the mechanical behavior (i.e. bending stiffness, Young modulus, pull-off force) of gold cantilevers with lengths ranging from 190 µm to 490 µm. We investigated the tempe...
A NATURAL SONIC COMPOSITE – THE ATMOSPHERE
The atmosphere represents a natural sonic composite exhibiting the full band-gaps and localized modes around inhomogeneities given by the wind-velocity jumps. The paper analyses a barometric model including inhomogeneiti...
ANALYTICAL AND NUMERICAL STUDIES OF FORMABILITY OF METAL/POLYMER/METAL SANDWICH SHEETS
The aim of this study is to analyze formability of three-layer metal/polymer/metal sandwich sheets. For this purpose, forming limit curves (FLCs) of sandwich sheets with particular configurations were determined using tw...
