.... The stochastic analysis uses both the Karhunen–Loeve polynomial-chaos and the perturbation-based stochastic finite element methods. The two approaches are compared and comprehensively validated against Monte Carlo simulations. The numerical results quantify the impact of uncertainty on the response, but show...

... moved at almost 400 km/h. The turbulent boundary-layer and external forcings induced vibrations could inflict fatigue damage on the panel structures. Such problems should be taken into consideration in designing high-speed trains to have a considerable service. stochastic analysis nonlinear...
