Random Vibrations: Theory and Applications investigates methods and theories involved in random vibration analyses of linear and nonlinear systems and in predicting random vibration induced failures.

This book is a lucid and well-paced introduction to random vibrations, superbly motivated and illustrated through a wealth of convincing applications in various engineering fields. Strong points of the book are its coverage of weakly stationary and ergodic random processes, spectral analysis of random processes, mode displacement superposition method, equivalent linearization technique for nonlinear random vibrations and an updated definition of rain flow cycle for fatigue analysis. Particularly appealing features of the book are its numerous examples and end-of-chapter exercises. The book offers a clear guide to the formulations and mathematical properties of the random vibration analysis techniques; the emphasis throughout is on practical applications rather than mathematical development for its own sake. However, some important mathematical formulas have been explicitly deduced in a detailed manner so that the prospective reader can go through the material in this book very smoothly and efficiently.

This book is intended for upper undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in learning advanced techniques for performing random vibration analysis, researchers and scientists investigating linear and nonlinear systems under random external excitations, and aeronautical/civil/mechanical/structural/ocean engineers involved in the design and manufacture of real-world stochastically excited engineering systems.
