Effective linear damping and stiffness coefficients of nonlinear systems for design spectrum based analysis [PDF]

, 2010
A stochastic approach for obtaining reliable estimates of the peak response of nonlinear systems to excitations specified via a design seismic spectrum is proposed. This is achieved in an efficient manner without resorting to numerical integration of the
