Deterministic and stochastic analyses of a nonlinear system with a Biot visco elastic element.

In the paper the Biot hysteretic model involving an infinite collection of elements whose dynamic characteristics are specified through a probability density like function is re-examined; in the limit case, the Biot model yields a dynamic system with ideal hysteretic damping which is known to be con...
