Abstract
We briefly discuss the approximate analysis of nonlinear stochastic dy namical systems based on quasimomentum expansions (cf. [2]) of the pro bability density function of the system response. Using the Fokker-Pla nck equation, a system of linear equations can be deduced, that descri bes the expansion coefficients. The method can be applied to external as well as parametrical excitation and is also suitable to produce app roximations for power spectral density and covariance functions.
