An equivalent nonlinear system method is proposed to obtain the approximate probability density for the stationary response of multi-degree-of-freedom integrable Hamiltonian systems with linear and (or) nonlinear dampings and subject to external and (or) parametric excitations of Gaussian white noises. The equivalent nonlinear systems are obtained on the basis of one of the following three criteria: least mean-squared difference in damping forces, dissipation energy balancing, or least mean-squared difference in dissipation energies. Two examples are given to illustrate the application and validity of the method and the differences in the three equivalence criteria. The method is also extended to a more general class of systems which include the stochastically excited and dissipated integrable Hamiltonian systems as special cases.

An equivalent nonlinear system method is presented to obtain the approximate probability density for the stationary response of multi-degree-of-freedom nonlinear Hamiltonian systems to Gaussian white noise parametric and/or external excitations. The equivalent nonlinear systems are obtained on the basis of one of the following three criteria: least mean-squared deficiency of damping forces, dissipation energy balancing, and least mean-squared deficiency of dissipation energies. An example is given to illustrate the application and validity of the method and the differences in the three equivalence criteria.

A systematic procedure is developed to obtain the stationary probability density for the response of a nonlinear system under parametric and external excitations of Gaussian white noises. The procedure is devised by separating the circulatory portion of the probability flow from the noncirculatory flow, thus obtaining two sets of equations that must be satisfied by the probability potential. It is shown that these equations are identical to two of the conditions established previously under the assumption of detailed balance; therefore, one remaining condition for detailed balance is superfluous. Three examples are given for illustration, one of which is capable of exhibiting limit cycle and bifurcation behaviors, while another is selected to show that two different systems under two differents sets of excitations may result in the same probability distribution for their responses.

A stochastic averaging method is proposed to predict approximately the response of quasi-integrable Hamiltonian systems, i.e., multi-degree-of-freedom integrable Hamiltonian systems subject to lightly linear and (or) nonlinear dampings and weakly external and (or) parametric excitations of Gaussian white noises. According to the present method an n-dimensional averaged Fokker-Planck-Kolmogrov (FPK) equation governing the transition probability density of n action variables or n independent integrals of motion can be constructed in nonresonant case. In a resonant case with α resonant relations, an (n + α)-dimensional averaged FPK equation governing the transition probability density of n action variables and α combinations of phase angles can be obtained. The procedures for obtaining the stationary solutions of the averaged FPK equations for both resonant and nonresonant cases are presented. It is pointed out that the Stratonovich stochastic averaging and the stochastic averaging of energy envelope are two special cases of the present stochastic averaging. Two examples are given to illustrate the application and validity of the proposed method.

A stochastic averaging method is proposed to predict approximately the response of multi-degree-of-freedom quasi-nonintegrable-Hamiltonian systems (nonintegrable Hamiltonian systems with lightly linear and (or) nonlinear dampings and subject to weakly external and (or) parametric excitations of Gaussian white noises). According to the present method, a one-dimensional approximate Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov equation for the transition probability density of the Hamiltonian can be constructed and the probability density and statistics of the stationary response of the system can be readily obtained. The method is compared with the equivalent nonlinear system method for stochastically excited and dissipated nonintegrable Hamiltonian systems and extended to a more general class of systems. An example is given to illustrate the application and validity of the present method and the consistency of the present method and the equivalent nonlinear system method.

Approximate probability distributions of certain response variables are obtained for hysteretic systems under Gaussian white-noise excitations. The approximate method used is a generalization of a dissipation-energy-balancing procedure, developed previously for nonlinear but basically nonhysteretic systems. Some new issues related particularly to hysteresis models are explained and resolved. The method is applicable to either bilinear or smooth-type hysteresis without the restriction that the response be a narrow-band process or the energy dissipation be small. Comparison of computed results with available simulation results indicates that the proposed method is accurate for wide ranges of excitation levels and system parameters.

It is shown that the structure and property of the exact stationary solution of a stochastically excited and dissipated n-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian system depend upon the integrability and resonant property of the Hamiltonian system modified by the Wong-Zakai correct terms. For a stochastically excited and dissipated nonintegrable Hamiltonian system, the exact stationary solution is a functional of the Hamiltonian and has the property of equipartition of energy. For a stochastically excited and dissipated integrable Hamiltonian system, the exact stationary solution is a functional of n independent integrals of motion or n action variables of the modified Hamiltonian system in nonresonant case, or a functional of both n action variables and α combinations of phase angles in resonant case with α (1 ≤ α ⩽ n – 1) resonant relations, and has the property that the partition of the energy among n degrees-of-freedom can be adjusted by the magnitudes and distributions of dampings and stochastic excitations. All the exact stationary solutions obtained to date for nonlinear stochastic systems are those for stochastically excited and dissipated nonintegrable Hamiltonian systems, which are further generalized to account for the modification of the Hamiltonian by Wong-Zakai correct terms. Procedures to obtain the exact stationary solutions of stochastically excited and dissipated integrable Hamiltonian systems in both resonant and nonresonant cases are proposed and the conditions for such solutions to exist are deduced. The above procedures and results are further extended to a more general class of systems, which include the stochastically excited and dissipated Hamiltonian systems as special cases. Examples are given to illustrate the applications of the procedures.

Health management for a complex nonlinear system is becoming more important for condition-based maintenance and minimizing the related risks and costs over its entire life. However, a complex nonlinear system often operates under dynamically operational and environmental conditions, and it subjects to high levels of uncertainty and unpredictability so that effective methods for online health management are still few now. This paper combines hidden semi-Markov model (HSMM) with sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods. HSMM is used to obtain the transition probabilities among health states and health state durations of a complex nonlinear system, while the SMC method is adopted to decrease the computational and space complexity, and describe the probability relationships between multiple health states and monitored observations of a complex nonlinear system. This paper proposes a novel method of multisteps ahead health recognition based on joint probability distribution for health management of a complex nonlinear system. Moreover, a new online health prognostic method is developed. A real case study is used to demonstrate the implementation and potential applications of the proposed methods for online health management of complex nonlinear systems.
