✦ Synopsis

The paper presents a general and straightforward procedure based on the use of the strain energy density for deriving symmetric expressions of the secant and tangent stiffness matrices for finite element analysis of geometrically non-linear structural problems. The analogy with previously proposed methods for deriving secant and tangent matrices is detailed. The simplicity of the approach is shown in an example of application.

This paper deals with the practical implementation of the statistical equivalent linearization method (EQL) in conjunction with general FE-analysis to evaluate non-linear structural response under random excitation. A computational procedure is presented which requires the non-linear part of the sys
