摘要

Aiming at the structural vibration problem under non-stationary excitation, time-domain method of high efficiency is explored in the present study to determine the sensitivity of covariance of random response. Firstly, a time-domain formulation is derived for computing the sensitivity of deterministic response. Then, according to a general expression of the sensitivity of covariance, an explicit time-domain formulation is deducted to calculate the sensitivity of covariance of non-stationary random response. This formulation is also suitable for the case of stationary excitation if sensitivity of covariance of the transient response is concerned. By taking a frame and a truss subjected to different types of non-stationary excitations as examples, comparisons of the numerical results obtained with different methods illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
