RandBar: Random Dynamics of a Bar System is a powerful Matlab tool designed to simulate the nonlinear stochastic dynamics of a bar structural system with attached discrete elements. The code is developed with an educational approach, making it user-friendly and intuitive.
RandBar was developed to conduct stochastic simulations of a bar structural system with attached discrete elements. The results have been published in a peer-reviewed journal:
- A. Cunha Jr, R. Sampaio, On the nonlinear stochastic dynamics of a continuous system with discrete attached elements, Applied Mathematical Modelling, 39, pp. 809-819, 2015. DOI
- Simulates nonlinear stochastic dynamics of bar systems
- Intuitive Matlab implementation
- Educationally styled code for easy understanding
To get started with RandBar, follow these steps:
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/americocunhajr/RandBar.git
- Navigate to the code directory:
