✦ Synopsis

The investigation reported in this paper constitutes the second phase of an on-going research project that aims at developing techniques for the computation and analysis of response of complex structures excited by non-parametric and parametric non-stationary random disturbances. In this second phase, the technique previously developed by the authors for the an~ilysis of response of a general two-degree-of-freedom system subjected to the aforementioned classes of excitations is extended to handle multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems. Applications are made for the computation of response of several typical plate structures, approximated by the finite element method'so that they can be analyzed as MDOF systems.
