Abstract

Basic equations of energy-to-cth-power difference criterion were derived for multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems subjected to stationary Gaussian excitations with non-zero mean. Modal transform technique was used in order to reduce unknowns. Main computational formulae were presented and suggested values of c were given. Numerical results show that the method of this paper prevails over equation difference criterion both in accuracy and in simplicity.
