Random Vibrations in Spacecraft Structures Design: Theory and Applications (Solid Mechanics and Its Applications, 165)

<p>This book treats the random mechanical and acoustical vibrations of deterministic and statistical dynamic systems, in the low and high frequency range.&nbsp;The following topics&nbsp;are discussed in great detail:</p><p></p><p>Vibrations of deterministic linear mechanical dynamic systems exposed to mechanical random loads and or enforced motion (acceleration); Vibrations of deterministic linear mechanical dynamic systems exposed to random acoustic loads (sound pressures; Random vibration of statistically defined mechanical systems and loads using Statistical Energy Analysis (SEA); Non-linear structures excited to random (white noise) mechanical loads analyzed by using the Fokker-Planck-Kolgomorov (FPK) equation. <p></p>The theory of random vibration is strongly related to the design of spacecraft structures and&nbsp;is illustrated with simple and more difficult worked examples; each section ends with posed problems; usually answers are provided.<p></p><p></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p></p><p>&nbsp;</p></p>
