TL;DR: This work surveys the quadratic eigenvalue problem, treating its many applications, its mathematical properties, and a variety of numerical solution techniques.
Abstract: We survey the quadratic eigenvalue problem, treating its many applications, its mathematical properties, and a variety of numerical solution techniques. Emphasis is given to exploiting both the structure of the matrices in the problem (dense, sparse, real, complex, Hermitian, skew-Hermitian) and the spectral properties of the problem. We classify numerical methods and catalogue available software.

TL;DR: In this article, a generic stochastic finite-element method for modeling structures is proposed as a means to analyze and design structures in a probabilistic framework, which is applied in structures discretized with the finite element methodology, and an estimate of the probability of failure based on known and established procedures in second-moment reliability analysis is made with the aid of a transformation to gaussian space of the random variables that define structural reliability.
