  • Deterministic and stochastic behaviors of a piecewise-linear system

    Creator:
    Mha, Ho-Seong
    Abstract:
    The (nonlinear) response behavior of a piecewise-linear system is investigated under both deterministic and stochastic excitations in this study. A semi-analytical procedure is developed to predict the system behavior by evaluating the joint probability density functions of the Fokker-Planck equations of the stochastic piecewise-linear system under random excitations via a...

  • An economic analysis of small-holders agriculture in the central highlands of Ethiopia : a system simulation approach

    Creator:
    Bellete, Solomon
    Abstract:
    In the majority of the less developed countries the small-scale peasant agriculture is the dominant sector of the countries' economies. The successes of major agricultural programs in order to increase the potentials depend primarily on the understanding of the economic organizations of the peasant households. This study analyzed over a...

  • Stochastic analysis of a nonlinear ocean structural system

    Creator:
    Lin, Huan
    Abstract:
    Stochastic analysis procedures have been recently applied to analyze nonlinear dynamical systems. In this study, nonlinear responses, stochastic and/or chaotic, are examined and interpreted from a probabilistic perspective. A multi-point-moored ocean structural system under regular and irregular wave excitations is analytically examined via a generalized stochastic Melnikov function and Markov...

  • The integro-geometric tangent measures of euclidean n-space

    Creator:
    Zelver, Jack Solomon
    Abstract:
    A technique of differentiation with respect to the distance to the boundary of an outer parallel-body is applied to known measures of sets of p-dimensional linear spaces which intersect a general convex body in n-dimensional euclidean space in order to obtain an appropriate definition of the measures of sets of...

  • Modelling, validation and simulation of multi-degree-of-freedom nonlinear stochastic barge motions

    Creator:
    Bartel, Warren A.
    Abstract:
    Recent developments in estimation of the survivability of a U.S. Navy transport barge in random seas are extended to improve accuracy. The single Degree-of-Freedom (DOF) model of a extreme roll response of a barge used in previous research is replaced by a 3-DOF roll-heave-sway model to include linear and nonlinear...

  • Nonlinear oscillations, bifurcations and chaos in ocean mooring systems

    Creator:
    Gottlieb, Oded
    Abstract:
    Complex nonlinear and chaotic responses have been recently observed in various compliant ocean systems. These systems are characterized by a nonlinear mooring restoring force and a coupled fluid-structure interaction exciting force. A general class of ocean mooring system models is formulated by incorporating a variable mooring configuration and the exact...

  • Stability analysis of nonlinear coupled barge motions

    Creator:
    Nakhata, Tongchate
    Abstract:
    The present research investigates nonlinear barge motions through analyses of coupled multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) deterministic and stochastic models. Roll-Heave-Sway and other lower-ordered models are developed to predict the nonlinear motions and analyze the stability of a class of ship-to-shore cargo barges. The governing equations of motion contain coupled rigid body Roll-Heave-Sway...

  • Seismic protection of flexible rotating machines using base isolators

    Creator:
    Su, Wen-Chyi
    Abstract:
    Base isolation is an alternative seismic design strategy in which the primary structures and their internal components are uncoupled from the potentially damaging horizontal components of an earthquake by base isolators which attenuate the transmission of horizontal acceleration into the system. Rotating machines are among the key internal components of...
