The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.4 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.3 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 2.2 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00034 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.46 SJR: 0.333 SNIP: 0.606 CiteScore™:: 3.1 H-Index: 31

ABSTRAKT

The impact of randomness of structural parameters on structural responses and performance is of paramount importance. In engineering practice, the distributions of most random parameters are nonuniform and non-Gaussian. The probability density evolution method is capable in these cases of capturing the probability density functions of the responses. To optimally select the representative point set, the L2-discrepancy in cubature formulae, which is only applicable to uniform distributions with equal weights, is generalized to: (i) consider general nonuniform, non-Gaussian distributions; and (ii) involve the impact of the assigned probabilities as unequal weights. The extended Koksma-Hlawka inequality is proved rigorously, and the explicit expression for the generalized L2-discrepancy (GL2-discrepancy) is derived. A point selection strategy by minimizing the GL2-discrepancy is proposed. In particular, a two-step approach is suggested, and the existence and uniqueness of optimal assigned probabilities are proved. Numerical examples are illustrated, showing the fair accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method. Particularly, in obvious contrast to most existing random vibration analyses of nonlinear structures where the component-structure two-level models are employed, stochastic response of a structure with a refined model incorporating the stochastic damage constitutive law of concrete material is implemented. Problems to be further studied are discussed.
