Random vibrations: analysis of structural and mechanical systems
By: Lutes, Loren D
Contributor(s): Sarkani, Shahram
Language: English Publisher: Amsterdam Elsevier c2004Description: xii, 638p.; 25cmISBN: 9780750677653Subject(s): Engineering | Mechanical engineering | Mechanical vibration | Stochastic processes | Structural dynamicsDDC classification: 620.3 LUT/R Online resources: Publisher's URL Summary: The topic of 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.Random Vibrations will lead readers in a user-friendly fashion to a thorough understanding of vibrations of linear and nonlinear systems that undergo stochastic—random—excitation.
