Linear systems whose coefficients have large uncertainties arise routinely in finite element calculations for structures with uncertain geometry, material properties, or loads. However, a true worst case analysis of the influence of such uncertainties was previously possible only for very small systems and uncertainties, or in special cases where the coefficients do not exhibit dependence. This...

in this work an improved method for designing a linear vibrational absorber, excited by random vibrations is presented and analyzed. first, analytical expressions, for non-stationary white noise accelerations, are derived. the criterion is different from the conventional criteria, used for structural design under random vibration, and it is based on minimum displacement or acceleration response...
