This unique book commemorates the 65th birthday of Stephen H. Crandall - one of the founding fathers and most active developers and elucidators of the science of random vibrations. Leading scientists from all over the world have contributed 33 papers addressing almost every impo…
1. Introduction. 1.1. Random vibration and random pulse trains problems. 1.2. Most important general methods for random vibration. 1.3. Methods for random pulse trains -- 2. Stochastic point processes - basic ideas and methods and other mathematical preliminaries. 2.1. Character…
The book presents the methods of analysis of dynamical mechanical systems subjected to stochastic excitations in form of random trains of impulses. This particular class of excitations is adequately characterized by stochastic point processes and behaviour of dynamical systems i…
A combination of experiments and modeling are used to address the vibration durability of structures subjected to different random vibration environments. Presented in this work are a set of experimental data comparing the rate of change of the first natural frequency and the me…
Dynamic soil-foundation interaction is an important consideration in the design of structures subjected to dynamic loads such as earthquakes, wind, machine vibration, vehicle loading, and impacts. One reason for this importance is that soil-structure interaction (SSI) can have d…
