Beginning with the basics of probability and an overview of stochastic process, this book goes on to explore their engineering applications: random vibration and system analysis. It addresses extreme conditions such as distribution of large vibration peaks, probabilities of exceeding certain limits, and fatigue. Includes numerous tested examples: earthquake risk analysis, distribution of extreme wind speeds, analysis of structural reliability, earthquake response of tall multi-storey structure and wind loading of tall towers.
