This work concerns the bending of a slender cantilever beam subject to an external force with the inclusion of a stochastic effect characterised by white noise. The beam deflection is governed by the classic dynamic Euler-Bernoulli equation. Its response to the stochastic external load is investigated by learning pattern from the simulation data wh...

... image in Fig. 8. It can be clearly seen that the temporal covariance converges to a limit with oscillations in long term. This calculation has been repeated for different positions along the beam. By using the same visualisation technique of stacking up the colour-map images, a three-dimensional colour-map representation is formed and plotted in Fig. 9 that provides a clear view on the overall evolution of the temporal covariance. On the other hand, the temporal correlation matrix is again found to be of a unit matrix, showing that the beam deflection is (perfectly) positively temporally correlated at a fixed position. 4. Combining the results obtained from the previous three steps, ...
