Fourth International Conference on Stochastic Structural Dynamics (SSD' 98)

第四届国际随机结构动力学会议将于1998年8月6日至8日在圣母大学举行。会议将汇集来自世界各地的随机力学、随机振动、随机过程、结构可靠性、随机控制和相关领域的研究人员和工程师。来自约20个国家的100多篇论文的摘要已提交会议。几乎每一个工程结构的设计和分析都必须明确或不明确地考虑到地震、海浪和阵风产生的环境力的随机性质，人、机器等产生的人为力，以及材料特性和制造过程的变化。减轻这些力量造成的危害是最重要的。本次会议将为研究人员提供一个论坛，讨论随机结构动力学的最新进展，并确定未来需要研究的关键领域。本项目提供支持，帮助支付年轻研究人员、杰出荣誉参与者的部分参加费用，以及出版会议论文集的费用。* * *

9813960 Johnson The Fourth International Conference on Stochastic Structural Dynamics will be held at the University of Notre Dame on August 6-8, 1998. The Conference will bring together researchers and engineers involved in stochastic mechanics, random vibration, stochastic processes, structural reliability, stochastic control, and related fields throughout the world. Abstracts for over 100 papers have been submitted for inclusion in the conference from some 20 countries. The design and analysis of virtually every engineering structure must account, explicitly or not, for the stochastic nature of environmental forces generated by earthquakes, ocean waves, and wind gusts, of man-made forces produced by people, machines, etc., and of variations in material properties and manufacturing processes. The mitigation of the hazards these forces cause is of prime importance. This conference will provide a forum for researchers to discuss the state-of-the art in stochastic structural dynamics and identify key areas for needed future research. This project provides support to help defray some of the participation costs for young researchers, for distinguished honored participants, and for publishing a proceedings of the conference. ***
