This book is a lucid and well-paced introduction to random vibrations, superbly motivated and illustrated through a wealth of convincing applications in various engineering fields. The strong points of the book are its coverage of weakly stationary and ergodic random processes, spectral analysis of random processes, mode displacement superposition method, equivalent linearization technique for nonlinear random vibrations and an updated definition of rain flow cycle for fatigue analysis. Particularly appealing features of the book are its numerous examples and end-of-chapter exercises. This book offers a clear guide to the formulations and mathematical properties of random vibration analysis techniques, with an emphasis on practical applications rather than mathematical development for its own sake. However, some important mathematical formulas have been explicitly deduced in a detailed manner so that readers can go through the material in this book very smoothly and efficiently.
