Abstract:
The present work's main objective is to investigate the natural vibrations of the thin (Kirchhoff-Love) plate resting on time-fractional viscoelastic supports in terms of the Stochastic Finite Element Method (SFEM). The behavior of the supports is described by the fractional order derivatives of the Riemann-Liouville type. The subspace iteration method, in conjunction with the continuation method, is used as a tool to solve the non-linear eigenproblem. A deterministic core for solving structural eigenvibrations is the Finite Element Method. The probabilistic analysis includes the Monte-Carlo simulation and the semi-analytical approach, as well as the iterative generalized stochastic perturbation method. Probabilistic structural response in the form of up to the second-order characteristics is investigated numerically in addition to the input uncertainty level. Finally, the probabilistic relative entropy and the safety measure are estimated. The presented investigations can be applied to the dynamics of foundation plates resting on viscoelastic soil.
