Carlo Simulation in Stochastic Dynamics. Probabilistic Engineering Mechanics, 18, 2003,
1-15.
State-of-Art Review:
Writing and organization of the review is as follows
(as suggested by the chairman):
Gerhart Schueller, Christian Bucher, and Y. K. Wen serve as the
coordinators of the
three topics (equivalent linearization, stability, and applications,
respectively) proposed
so far. Comments and contributions on these topics should be sent directly
to them.
Additional topics are welcome and should be sent to the chairman for distribution
to the membership.
Suggestions and ideas are welcome on how to best accomplish this review.
