Abstract
The finite element method for analysis of nonconservatively loaded stochastic columns is developed. The governing equations for a column whose material properties are having stochastic fluctuations are derived. The resulting non self adjoint random eigenvalue problem is examined to derive the stochastic characteristics of its eigen solution. The free vibration problems of stochastic Beck’s column and stochastic Leipholz columns whose Young’s modulus and mass density are distributed stochastically are considered. Numerical results are presented.
