Abstract

Let

$$ L(\underset{\raise0.3em\hbox{$\smash{\scriptscriptstyle-}$}}{\ddot u} ,\underset{\raise0.3em\hbox{$\smash{\scriptscriptstyle-}$}}{\dot u} ,\underset{\raise0.3em\hbox{$\smash{\scriptscriptstyle-}$}}{u} ,\underset{\raise0.3em\hbox{$\smash{\scriptscriptstyle-}$}}{f} _1 ) = \underset{\raise0.3em\hbox{$\smash{\scriptscriptstyle-}$}}{f} (t) $$
((5.1))

be the equations of motion of a general multi-degree-of-freedom non-linear system. In Eq.(5.1) \( {\underset{\raise0.3em\hbox{$\smash{\scriptscriptstyle-}$}}{u}} \) is the generalized displacement vector; a superimposed dot means time derivation; \( \mathbb{L}{{}_{i}} \)() is the total internal force in the i-th degree-of-freedom direction and \( {{{\underset{\raise0.3em\hbox{$\smash{\scriptscriptstyle-}$}}{f}}}_{1}} \)(t) and \( {\underset{\raise0.3em\hbox{$\smash{\scriptscriptstyle-}$}}{f}} \)(t) are two random excitation vectors with zero mean.
