Well-written introduction covers the elements of the theory of probability from two or more random variables, the reliability of such multivariable structures, the theory of random function, Monte Carlo methods of treating problems incapable of exact solution, and more. No previous knowledge of the subject necessary. Numerous examples, illustrative figures.

Mechanical Vibration Analysis and Computation by D. E. Newland Focusing on applications rather than proofs, this volume is suitable for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, serving as a handbook for performing vibration calculations. Answers to selected problems. 1989 edition.
Random Vibration and Statistical Linearization by J. B. Roberts, P. D. Spanos This self-contained volume explains the general method of statistical linearization and its use in solving random vibration problems. Numerous examples show advanced undergraduate and graduate students many practical applications. 1990 edition.
Engineering Mechanics for Structures by Louis L. Bucciarelli This text explores the mechanics of solids and statics as well as the strength of materials and elasticity theory. Its many design exercises encourage creative initiative and systems thinking. 2009 edition.
