Stochastic Processes and Random Vibrations

Download or read book Stochastic Processes and Random Vibrations written by Júlíus Sólnes and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1997-07-07 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with the basics of probability and an overview of stochastic process, this book goes on to explore their engineering applications: random vibration and system analysis. It addresses extreme conditions such as distribution of large vibration peaks, probabilities of exceeding certain limits, and fatigue. Includes numerous tested examples: earthquake risk analysis, distribution of extreme wind speeds, analysis of structural reliability, earthquake response of tall multi-storey structure and wind loading of tall towers.
