Summary
The problem of assessing the reliability of frames with random properties, characterized by non-linear mechanic behaviour and subjected to stochastic dynamic excitations is analysed. Different approaches to the problem were considered in past research: simulation procedures, response surface methods, equivaient linearization techniques.
The operative aspects associated with the adoption of a suitable equivalent linearization approach are discussed here in detail. The degree of difficulty of the corresponding calculations and the accuracy of the results are compared with the computational effort and the level of approximation of simulation procedures and response surface methods. A numerical example is sketched.
