Abstract

On the basis of the Bouc-Wen hysteretic model, the effective numerical method for the response of nonlinear multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) stochastic hysteretic systems is presented using second moment method. Using this method, the mean values, variances and covariances are computed. The Monte Carlo simulation is applied to validate the method. The results obtained by the two methods are contrasted, and the solutions of the method in this paper agreed very well with the Monte Carlo simulation. It has solved the random response of nonlinear stochastic vibration systems which is caused by the stochastic hysteretic loop itself.
