This second edition of the book,
Nonlinear Random Vibration: Analytical Techniques and Applications
, expands on the original edition with additional detailed steps in various places in the text. It is a first systematic presentation on the subject. Its features include:
• a concise treatment of Markovian and non- Markovian solutions of nonlinear stochastic differential equations,
• exact solutions of Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov equations,
• methods of statistical linearization,
• statistical nonlinearization techniques,
• methods of stochastic averaging,
• truncated hierarchy techniques, and
• an appendix on probability theory.
A special feature is its incorporation of detailed steps in many examples of engineering applications.
Targeted audience: Graduates, research scientists and engineers in mechanical, aerospace, civil and environmental (earthquake, wind and transportation), automobile, naval, architectural, and mining engineering.
