Equations are presented for the approximate determination through equivalent linearization of the response of a single-degree-of-freedom linear system to excitation induced by oscillatory flow with nonzero mean velocity. The reliability of the proposed methodology is examined.

Abstract In this paper, a semi-analytical approach was used to predict periodic motions in a single-degree-of-freedom system under both aerodynamic force and harmonic excitation. Using the implicit mappings, the predictions of period-1 motions varying with excitation frequency are obtained. Stability of the period-1 motions are discussed, and the corresponding eigenvalues of period-1 motions are presented. Finally, numerical simulations of stable period-1 motions are illustrated.

A stochastic equivalent linearization technique combined with a ground response spectrum approach is proposed to approximate the inelastic response of base-isolated structures. These structures are modeled by nonlinear oscillators with a single degree of freedom. The main advantage of the proposed methodology is the fast calculation of approximate results in comparison with the slow, but more accurate time history analyses. The Bouc-Wen constitutive model is used to represent the inelastic behavior of the isolators. The equations of motion are linearized by an iterative stochastic technique involving the a-priori unknown response statistics. At each iteration step, the modal contributions from one real and one pair of complex conjugate modes are combined by a response spectrum approach to obtain the maximum responses of interest. The process requires the use of conventional spectra (pseudo-acceleration and relative velocity) as well as the relative displacement spectrum of a massless oscillator. Floor response spectrum results above the isolators are calculated by the proposed approach and are compared against the results obtained by a simulation involving time history analyses.
