Description: Random Vibrations: Theory and Practice covers the theory and analysis of mechanical and structural systems undergoing random oscillations due to any number of phenomena - from engine noise, turbulent flow, and acoustic noise to wind, ocean waves, earthquakes, and rough pavement. For systems operating in such environments, a random vibration analysis is essential to the safety and reliability of the system.

By far the most comprehensive text available on random vibrations, Random Vibrations: Theory and Practice is designed for readers who are new to the subject as well as those who are familiar with the fundamentals and wish to study a particular topic or use the text as an authoritative reference. It is divided into three major sections: fundamental background, random vibration development and applications to design, and random signal analysis.

Unequaled in the range of its coverage and the clarity of its presentation, Random Vibrations: Theory and Practice is both a suitable text for graduate level courses and an invaluable resource for mechanical, structural, and aerospace engineers.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 433-440) and index.
