| Summary: | Contact-impact problems are a class of problems that exist in almost all machinery,
automotive, aerospace, and structural applications. The contact-impact phenomena is inherently
nonlinear and numerous approaches were used to solve such problems. In this paper, we exploit the
linear Finite Element formulation within an incremental approach to solve Contact-impact problems
under random excitations. The random excitations were modeled using Monte-Carlo simulation. We
studied the input-output relationship for some of these problems to see the effect of random excitation
on structural behavior. |
