Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Considering the influence of random factors on the structure, three stochastic finite element methods for general nonlinear problems are proposed. They are Taylor expansion method, perturbation method and Neumann expansion method. The mean value of displacement is obtained by the tangent stiffness method or the initial stress method of nonlinear finite elements. Nonlinear stochastic finite element is transformed into linear stochastic finite element. The mean values of displacement and stress are obtained by the incremental tangent stiffness method and the initial stress method of the finite element of elastic-plastic problems. The stochastic finite element of elastic- plastic problems can be calculated by the linear stochastic finite element method.
