description

This paper exploits the work presented in the companion paper in order to evaluate the higher order statistics of the response of linear systems excited by polynomials of filtered normal processes. In fact, by means of a variable transformation, the original system is replaced by a linear one excited by external and linearly parametric white noise excitations. The transition matrix of the new enlarged system is obtained simply once the transition matrices of the original system and of the filter are evaluated. The method is then applied in order to evaluate the higher order statistics of the approximate response of nonlinear systems to which the pseudo-force method is applied.
