Description
This book is a result of many years of author's research and teaching on random vibration and control. It was used as lecture notes for
a graduate course. It provides a systematic review of theory of probability, stochastic processes, and stochastic calculus. The feedback
control is also reviewed in the book. Random vibration analyses of SDOF, MDOF and continuous structural systems are presented in a pedagogical
order. The application of the random vibration theory to reliability and fatigue analysis is also discussed. Recent research results
on fatigue analysis of non-Gaussian stress processes are also presented. Classical feedback control, active damping, covariance control,
optimal control, sliding control of stochastic systems, feedback control of stochastic time-delayed systems, and probability density
tracking control are studied. Many control results are new in the literature and included in this book for the first time. The book
serves as a reference to the engineers who design and maintain structures subject to harsh random excitations including earthquakes,
sea waves, wind gusts, and aerodynamic forces, and would like to reduce the damages of structural systems due to random excitations.
Audience
Mechanical Engineers, Control Engineers, Civil Engineers and Naval Engineers.
