Description
Most textbooks on random vibrations are very mathematically intensive, and are often difficult for senior/graduate students to digest in the learning period of a single semester course. This book is designed to focus on basic methodologies to handle random process in engineering practices. Based on our teaching experience, this book can help students to directly gain the necessary knowledge and basic concept of random process, which used to be very difficult through math-intensive logic-rigorous training with conventional textbooks.

"Random vibration is an important branch in [the] area of dynamic structure. At the same time, it is an obscure portion to most engineering students and researchers. In this book, the author present[s] a clear method to resolve this difficulty, by showing lots of real examples or practical engineering following the basic concept about stochastic process. It constructs a bridge between these two parts instead of basing rigorous mathematical logic creatively."-Professor Baitao Sun, Institute of Engineering Mechanics, China Earthquake Administration, Harbin
"... an excellent resource for students to learn basic methodologies handling random processes and a great reference material for researchers exploring their research on principles of multiple hazard design for structures. ... admirable for its content ... The authors successfully make a breakthrough that avoids mathematical difficulties for students to absorb the essential concepts needed to account for random data and processes, and effectively help readers apply the methodologies to solve their problems. ... exceptional material for the study of random vibration."
-Kuo-Chun Chang, Professor, Department of Civil ngineering, National Taiwan University, Director, National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering, Taipei, Taiwan
