Abstract
By moving from the first approximate procedure developed
by the authors in order to deal with dynamic non-linear
systems loaded by random forcing actions, a more feasible
and reliable alternative entropic closure approach is
presented in the paper, able to deal with high order non-linearities
and extendible to m.d.o.f. systems. Furthermore, as
the effectiveness of the approach is deeply linked to the exact
calculation of some multiple integrals interesting the
approximate expression of the suitably chosen response
probability function, in the paper a procedure is studied able
to guarantee high accuracy in the integrals definition and to
definitively validate the whole proposed approach.
