Random Response Analysis of Vibration Transfer Path Systems with Translational and Rotational Motions <sup></sup>

Abstract

This paper based on the generalized probabilistic perturbation finite element method solves the random response analysis problem of vibration transfer path systems with translational and rotational motions. The effective random response analysis approaches are achieved using Kronecker algebra, matrix calculus, generalized second moment technique of vector-valued functions and matrix-valued functions. For the vibration transfer path system with multi-dimensional paths, the random response is described correctly and expressly in time domain as uncertain factors, which include mass, damping, stiffness and position, are considered. The mathematical expressions of the first order and second order moments for the random vibration response of vibration transfer path are obtained. According to the corresponding numerical example, the results of calculation are consistent with the results of Monte-Carlo simulation, which shows the method is feasible theoretically.
