Exact nonstationary responses of rectangular thin plate on Pasternak foundation excited by stochastic moving loads

Abstract This paper develops an efficient method termed as PE-PIM to address the exact nonstationary responses of pavement structure, which is modeled as a rectangular thin plate resting on bi-parametric Pasternak elastic foundation subjected to stochastic moving loads with constant acceleration. Firstly, analytical power spectral density (PSD) functions of random responses for thin plate are derived by integrating pseudo excitation method (PEM) with Duhamel's integral. Based on PEM, the new equivalent von Mises stress (NEVMS) is proposed, whose PSD function contains all cross-PSD functions between stress components. Then, the PE-PIM that combines the PEM with precise integration method (PIM) is presented to achieve efficiently stochastic responses of the plate by replacing Duhamel's integral with the PIM. Moreover, the semi-analytical Monte Carlo simulation is employed to verify the computational results of the developed PE-PIM. Finally, numerical examples demonstrate the high accuracy and efficiency of PE-PIM for nonstationary random vibration analysis. The effects of velocity and acceleration of moving load, boundary conditions of the plate and foundation stiffness on the deflection and NEVMS responses are scrutinized.
