Abstract

This paper deals with the stochastic response of structures loaded by non-Gaussian random fields. A finite element model is used to describe a cantilever beam assuming both linear and non-linear behavior. The cross-correlated stochastic field is generated by a numerical procedure based on the translation processes theory. The marginal distribution of the load is assumed to be lognormal and the correlation structure is based on the second-order Markov process. The statistical analysis of the results highlights the effects of the involved non-linearity and non-Gaussianity properties on the structure’s response.
