This self-contained volume explains the general method of statistical, or equivalent, linearization and its use in solving random vibration problems. Subjects include general equations of motion and representation of non-linearities, probability theory and stochastic processes, elements of linear random vibration theory, statistical linearization for simple systems with stationary response, more. 1990 edition. Unabridged republication of the edition published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., Chichester, England, 1990.

Probabilistic Theory of Structures by Isaac Elishakoff Well-written introduction covers probability theory from two or more random variables, reliability of such multivariable structures, theory of random function, Monte Carlo methods for problems incapable of exact solution, more.
Parametric Random Vibration by Raouf A. Ibrahim This systematic treatment examines linear and nonlinear dynamical systems subject to parametric random vibrations. It formulates stochastic stability theorems and analytical techniques for determining random response of nonlinear systems. 1985 edition.
Random Vibrations: Theory and Practice by Paul H. Wirsching, Thomas L, Paez, Keith Ortiz Comprehensive text and reference covers topics in probability, statistics, and random processes, plus methods for analyzing and controlling random vibrations. Suitable for graduate students and mechanical, structural, and aerospace engineers. 1995 edition.
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.
