Contents:
Section I Basic Probability Theory -- 1. Introduction -- 2. Functions of Random Variables -- Section II Random Process -- 3. Random Processes in the Time Domain -- 4. Random Processes in the Frequency Domain -- 5. Statistical Properties of Random Process -- Section III Vibrations 6. Single-Degree-of-Freedom Vibration Systems -- Response of SDOF Linear Systems to Random Excitations -- 8. Random Vibration of MDOF Linear Systems -- Section IV Applications and Further Discussions 9. Inverse Problems -- 10. Failures of Systems -- 11. Nonlinear Vibrations and Statistical Linearization.
Summary: This text incorporates more than 20 years of research on formulating bridge design limit states. Utilizing the authors’ experience in formulating real-world failure probability-based engineering design criteria, and their discovery of relevant examples using the basic ideas and principles of random processes, the text effectively helps students readily grasp the essential concepts. It eliminates the rigorous math-intensive logic training applied in the past, greatly reduces the random process aspect, and works to change a knowledge-based course approach into a methodology-based course approach. This approach underlies the book throughout, and students are taught the fundamental methodologies of accounting for random data and random processes as well as how to apply them in engineering practice.
