Non-linear stochastic systems are at the center of many engineering
disciplines and progress in theoretical research had led to a
better understanding of non-linear phenomena. This book provides
information on new fundamental results and their applications which
are beginning to appear across the entire spectrum of mechanics.
The outstanding points of these proceedings are Coherent compendium
of the current state of modelling and analysis of non-linear
stochastic systems from engineering, applied mathematics and
physics point of view. Subject areas include: Multiscale phenomena,
stability and bifurcations, control and estimation, computational
methods and modelling.
For the Engineering and Physics communities, this book will provide
first-hand information on recent mathematical developments. The
applied mathematics community will benefit from the modelling and
information on various possible applications.

This volume contains eighteen selected papers presented at the
Second International Conference on Stochastic Structural Dynamics,
which are related to new theoretical developments in the field.
This and a companion volume, related to new practical applications,
constitute the proceedings of the conference, and reflect the state
of the art of the rapidly developing subject. The conference was
held in Boca Raton, Florida during May 9-11, 1990 hosted by the
Center for Applied Stochastics Research of Florida Atlantic
University. A total of 20 technical sessions were organized, and
attended by eighty participants from 12 countries. Special emphases
of the conference were placed on two areas: applications to
earthquake engineering and stochastic stability of nonlinear
systems. Two sessions were dedicated to the memory of late
Professor Frank Kozin, one of the founders and most active
contributors to the stochastic stability theory. We are indebted to
the National Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (NCEER) for
financial support. Most credit belongs to each of the authors whose
contributions were the very basis for the undoubted success of the
conference. We are grateful to the reviewers who carefully refereed
the contributions for these two volumes. Our special thanks are due
to Mrs. Christine Mikulski, who carried out all the necessary
secretarial tasks associated with the conference with dedication.

From the preface: This volume is a collection of papers presented
at the U.S. - Japan Joint Seminar on Stochastic Approaches in
Earthquake Engineering held on May 6 and 7, 1987. The general theme
of the two-day program was the application of probability and
statistics to engineering problems related to strong ground motion.
Within this general theme a great variety of subject matters were
covered, including earthquake cataloging, ground motion modeling,
system identification, failure mechanisms, response and reliability
analyses, numerical techniques, and active control. The engineering
systems considered included buildings, bridges and life-line
networks.
This volume is a collection of papers presented at the U.S.-Austria
Joint Seminar on Stochastic Structural Mechanics held on May 4 and
5, 1987. The general theme of the two-day program was the
applications of probability and statistics to structural mechanics.
Within this general theme a great variety of subject matters were
covered, ranging from analytical and computational algorithms to
specific problems in different branches of engineering. The format
of the bi-national seminar with limited attendance permitted ample
time for presentation and discussion. The discussion was als6
contributed by several participants of another bi-national seminar,
the U.S.-Japan Joint Seminar on Stochastic Approaches in Earthquake
Engineering, which followed immediately on May 6 and 7, 1987. The
scheduling of the two seminars back-to-back enhanced greatly the
exchange among the experts in engineering stochastics from the
three nations. The Joint Seminar was organized according to the
U.S.-Austria Cooperative Science Program established in 1984. We
are indebted to the following government agencies and organizations
for financial assistance, including the National Science
Foundation, and the Florida Atlantic University Foundation in the
United States, and Fonds zur Forderung der wissenschaftlichen
Forschung, Land Tirol, Bundeswirtschaftskammer, Bundesministerium
flir Wissenschaft und Forschung, and Osterreichische
Forschungsgemeinschaft in Austria. Most credits, however, must be
accorded to each of the authors whose contributions were the very
basis of any success we might be able to claim. Our special thanks
are due to Mrs.
Traditionally, engineers look to established safety factors to
build sound structures, but the process is inefficient and often
yields less than the desired results. This reference presents a
different approach, allowing structural engineers to overcome the
unpredictability of traditional modeling systems by developing
sophisticated equation sets to solve specific structural problems.
