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 understanding of vibrations of linear and nonlinear systems that undergo stochasticrandomexcitation. Provides over 150 worked out example problems and, along with over 225 exercises, illustrates concepts with true-to-life engineering design problems Offers intuitive explanations of concepts within a context of mathematical rigor and relatively advanced analysis techniques. Essential for self-study by practicing engineers, and for instruction in the classroom 533 $aElectronic reproduction.$bAmsterdam :$cElsevier Science & Technology,$d2007.$nMode of access: World Wide Web.$nSystem requirements: Web browser.$nTitle from title screen (viewed on Aug. 2, 2007).$nAccess may be restricted to users at subscribing institutions 650 0$aRandom vibration 650 0$aStructural dynamics 650 0$aStochastic processes 655 7$aElectronic books.$2local 700 1 $aSarkani, Shahram$eauthor$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0739009 776 1 $cOriginal$z0750677651$z9780750677653$w(DLC) 2004269954$w(OCoLC)54395023 856 40$3Referex$uhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780750677653$zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for information 856 41$zTable of contents$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/els051/2004269954.html 856 42$zPublisher description$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/els051/2004269954.html 907 $a.b1365391x$b03-03-22$c24-01-08 912 $a991003241169707536 996 $aRandom vibrations$91463949 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale026$b24-01-08$cm$d@ $e-$feng$gne $h0$i0
