Sommario/riassunto

The topic of Introduction to Random Vibrations is the behavior of structural and mechanical systems when they are subjected to unpredictable, or random, vibrations. These vibrations may arise from natural phenomena such as earthquakes or wind, or from human-controlled causes such as the stresses placed on aircraft at takeoff and landing. Study and mastery of this topic enables engineers to design



and maintain structures capable of withstanding random vibrations, thereby protecting human life.Introduction to Random Vibrations will lead readers in a user-friendly fashion to a thorough un
