Coherent and systematic, this text explores the behavior of  linear and nonlinear dynamical systems subject to parametric random vibrations, by means of the theory of stochastic processes, stochastic differential equations, and applied dynamics. It distills decades of research to formulate new stochastic stability theorems and analytical techniques for determining the random response of nonlinear systems. In addition, it resolves controversies and paradoxes related to the interpretation of certain stochastic processes and the use of analytical methods.After a brief overview of parametric vibration and its subclasses, the text surveys the fundamental concepts of random processes and their calculus rules, emphasizing the main elements necessary for the analysis of parametric vibration problems. Subsequent chapters address the stability and response analyses of linear and nonlinear systems with random coefficients. The final chapter presents an extensive compilation of experimental results from the literature of the field.

The problem of liquid sloshing in moving or stationary containers remains of great concern to aerospace, civil, and nuclear engineers; physicists; designers of road tankers and ship tankers; and mathematicians. Beginning with the fundamentals of liquid sloshing theory, this book takes the reader systematically from basic theory to advanced analytical and experimental results in a self-contained and coherent format. The book is divided into four sections. Part I deals with the theory of linear liquid sloshing dynamics; Part II addresses the nonlinear theory of liquid sloshing dynamics, Faraday waves, and sloshing impacts; Part III presents the problem of linear and nonlinear interaction of liquid sloshing dynamics with elastic containers and supported structures; and Part IV considers the fluid dynamics in spinning containers and microgravity sloshing. This book will be invaluable to researchers and graduate students in mechanical and aeronautical engineering, designers of liquid containers, and applied mathematicians.

<p>This important, self-contained reference deals with structural life assessment (SLA) and structural health monitoring (SHM) in a combined form. SLA periodically evaluates the state and condition of a structural system and provides recommendations for possible maintenance actions or the end of structural service life. It is a diversified field and relies on the theories of fracture mechanics, fatigue damage process, and reliability theory. For common structures, their life assessment is not only governed by the theory of fracture mechanics and fatigue damage process, but by other factors such as corrosion, grounding, and sudden collision. On the other hand, SHM deals with the detection, prediction, and location of crack development online. Both SLA and SHM are combined in a unified and coherent treatment.</p>
