Dear Author(s):

On behalf of the Scientific Committee of the Eighth International Conference on Computational Stochastic Mechanics (CSM8) to be held in the island of Paros, Greece on 10-13 June 2018, I am happy to inform you that your paper(s) has/have been accepted for inclusion in the program of the conference.
Your draft paper(s), with length not exceeding twelve (12) pages (single spaced and inclusive of figures, tables, references, and acknowledgments), will OPTIONALLY be due by 21 May 2018. Also by the same date, a one-page abstract of your paper(s) in WORD format, conforming with the pertinent instructions available on the conference web site must have been submitted (if not already submitted); it will be included in the Conference Abstracts Book which will be provided to the participants during registration. Your complete manuscript(s) will be reviewed and, if necessary, editorial comments will be provided to you by 1 June 2018. If additional time is required to incorporate comments made during the presentation of the paper(s), the final version of the manuscript(s) will be RIGIDLY due by 17 September 2018. The instructions for the preparation of your paper(s) will be identical to those for the Journal of Probabilistic Engineering Mechanics which can be found here:
https://www.journals.elsevier.com/probabilistic-engineering-mechanics

The contact person for this aspect of the conference will be the proceedings volume co-editor, Professor George Deodatis of Columbia University, New York, USA.  A special issue of the Journal of Probabilistic Engineering Mechanics is planned to comprise a sub-group of the conference papers.  For inclusiveness, the policy of one paper presentation per registrant will be adopted.

I am pleased to inform you that appealing hotel rates have been negotiated; the hotel is named Astir of Paros with web site: www.astirofparos.gr.  For reservations at the special rate please see instructions here: https://www.unipa.it/strutture/csm8/registration-site/   Reserving at your earliest convenience is strongly recommended.

Please note that the welcoming reception will be held on the evening of June 10 and the conference banquet will be held on the evening of June 12, 2018. The conference fee will be $650.00 by May 15, 2018, and $750.00 afterwards; for students accompanied by a senior participant, the registration fee is $450.00.  This fee will include the conference functions, welcoming reception, three lunches, conference banquet, the Book of Abstracts, and Full Papers Proceedings. A registration entry form is already available in the conference web site or directly at: https://signup.rice.edu/CSM8/

On behalf of the Scientific Committee of the conference, I wish to thank you very much for your participation in its program, which has attracted contributions from many renowned researchers worldwide.

 

Sincerely,

P.D. Spanos
Conference Co-Chair

ABSTRACT. The finite element method has been previously applied to the solution of the Fokker-Planck equation for second order systems under additive white noise excitation. Animation of these solutions has provided insights into previously unstudied nonstationary behavior of the transition probability density functions of these systems. This work has now been extended to encompass systems subjected to both additive and multiplicative white noise excitations. In this paper we will examine a sequence of Duffing systems having a negative linear restoring force, and we will demonstrate through inspection of the probability density functions that adding parametric excitation to the linear part of the stiffness term results in stabilization at the origin. We will also compute second moments for each system and show the limited accuracy of several closure methods for this class of systems.(please replace with the abstract of your paper)
