Editorial Reviews

The publisher, Prentice-Hall Engineering/Science/Mathematics
Clearly stating the fundamental principles and relationships of structural and mechanical vibrations, this informative guide focuses on the determination of response levels for dynamical systems excited by forces that can be modeled as stochastic processes.

From the Back Cover
The book clearly states the fundamental principles and relationships of structural and mechanical vibrations. This informative guide focuses on the determination of response levels for dynamical systems excited by forces that can be modeled as stochastic processes. It concentrates crucial material in the beginning of the book, with key introductions to the fundamentals of stochastic modeling and vibration problems to acquaint readers with applications. It includes a large number (over 150) of worked examples to illustrate the modeling of physical problems as well as the proper application of theoretical solutions, and presents thought-provoking discussions on stochastic analysis of progressive topics which are the subjects of ongoing research, including state-space analysis, nonlinear dynamics, and fatigue damage. Time domain integration techniques provide viable alternatives to the calculus of residue
