Exceeds maximum length of 2000 characters; Reviews of the previous edition: ". . . This is a beautiful book . . ." Dr Stephen H Crandall Ford Professor of Engineering, MIT ". . . It is an impressive volume . . ." Prof Warner T Koiter Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands ". . . This extremely well-written text, authored by one of the leaders in the field, incorporates many of these new applications . . . Professor Elishakoff's techniques for developing the material are accomplished in a way that illustrates his deep insight into the topic as well as his expertise as an educator . . . Clearly, the second half of the text provides the basis for an excellent graduate course in random vibrations and buckling . . . Professor Elishakoff has presented us with outstanding instrument for teaching . . ." Prof Frank Kozin Polytechnic Institute of New York, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Journal ". . . By far the best book on the market today . . ." Prof Niels C Lind University of Waterloo, Canada ". . . A good book; a different book . . . It is hoped that the success of this book will encourage the author to provide sequel in due course . . ." Prof John D Robson University of Glasgow, England Journal of Sound and Vibration ". . . The book certainly satisfies the need that now exists for a readable textbook and reference book . . ." Prof Masanobu Shinozuka Columbia University ". . . Author ties together reliability, random vibration and random buckling . . . Well written . . . useful book . . ." Dr H Saunders Shock and Vibration Digest ". . . A very useful text that includes a broad spectrum of theory and application is by I Elishakoff" Prof Haim Benaroya Prentice Hall book Mechanical Vibration ". . . A treatise on random vibration and buckling. . .The reviewer wishes to compliment the author for the completion of a difficult task in preparing this book on a subject matter, which is still developing in many fronts . . ."
