Focuses on the Basic Methodologies Needed to Handle Random
Processes After determining that most textbooks on random
vibrations are mathematically intensive and often too difficult for
students to fully digest in a single course, the authors of Random
Vibration: Mechanical, Structural, and Earthquake Engineering
Applications decided to revise the current standard. This text
incorporates more than 20 years of research on formulating bridge
design limit states. Utilizing the authors' experience in
formulating real-world failure probability-based engineering design
criteria, and their discovery of relevant examples using the basic
ideas and principles of random processes, the text effectively
helps students readily grasp the essential concepts. It eliminates
the rigorous math-intensive logic training applied in the past,
greatly reduces the random process aspect, and works to change a
knowledge-based course approach into a methodology-based course
approach. This approach underlies the book throughout, and students
are taught the fundamental methodologies of accounting for random
data and random processes as well as how to apply them in
engineering practice. Gain a Deeper Understanding of the Randomness
in Sequences Presented in four sections, the material discusses the
scope of random processes, provides an overview of random
processes, highlights random vibrations, and details the
application of the methodology. Relevant engineering examples,
included throughout the text, equip readers with the ability to
make measurements and observations, understand basic steps,
validate the accuracy of dynamic analyses, and master and apply
newly developed knowledge in random vibrations and corresponding
system reliabilities. Comprising 11 Chapters, this text: Reviews
the theory of probability and applies it from an engineering
perspective Introduces basic concepts and formulas to prepare for
discussions of random processes Emphasizes the essence of
probability as the chance of occurrence in sample space Covers two
important issues in engineering practice, the uncertainty of data
and the probability of failure Explores the random processes in the
time domain Explains the nature of time-varying variables by joint
PDF through the Kolmogorov extension Examines random processes in
the frequency domain Discusses several basic and useful models of
random processes Presents a new set of statistics for random
processes Employs an approach to present important processes within
the context of practical engineering problems Includes the
generality of dealing with randomness and the difference between
random variables and processes Focuses on the topic of vibration
problems Addresses the basic parameters of linear
single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) systems Stresses a new method of
random process referred to as time series Details linear
multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems Describes the statistical
analyses of direct approach based on model decoupling of
proportionally and nonproportionally-damped systems Provides
materials on the applications of random processes and vibration
Discusses statistical studies on random data and model
identifications Describes the nonlinear phenomena and the general
approach of linearization Highlights a special method of Monte
Carlo simulation, and more Random Vibration: Mechanical,
Structural, and Earthquake Engineering Applications effectively
integrates the basic ideas, concepts, principles, and theories of
random processes. This enables students to understand the basic
methodology and establish their own logic to systematically handle
the issues facing the theory and application of random vibrations.
