RandBar is a code to simulate the nonlinear stochastic dynamics of a bar structural system with attached discrete elements.
RandBar: Random Dynamics of a Bar System is a Matlab code to simulate the nonlinear stochastic dynamics of a bar structural system with attached discrete elements. The implementation follows an educational style, to make its use very intuitive.
This code was developed to conduct stochastic simulations of a bar structural system with with attached discrete elements. The underlying results are reported in the following paper:
RandBar routines are commented in order to explain their functionality to the final user. Each routine has a short description about its purpose, and a list of inputs and/or outputs.
