TLDR
In this paper, the first and second moments of the displacement response were analyzed using the statistical linearization (SL) procedure and the results of an SL analysis were quantitatively compared with the behaviour of digitally simulated sample functions of the response.
Abstract
Three cases are examined where the statistical linearization (SL) procedure can yield multiple solutions for the first and second moments of the response. The first is an oscillator with a hardening non-linear stiffness excited by a narrow-band random excitation, the second is an oscillator with two potential wells excited by wide-band random excitation, and the third is an oscillator where the non-linear features present in the first two problems are combined. The results of an SL analysis are quantitatively compared with the behaviour of digitally simulated sample functions of the displacement response. In all cases a definite correspondence is found between the occurrence of multiple solutions generated by the SL method and the appearance of noticeable jumps in sample functions of the response. In some cases a quantitative agreement exists between the first and second moment values of the multiple solutions and the magnitude of “local” moments of the response.
