Random Vibrations

3 Credits

Review of probability theory. General characterization and models of random functions for engineering applications (seismic ground motion, wind velocity, ocean waves, mechanical vibrations). Vibration of deterministic systems under random dynamic loads; applications to wind and seismic engineering. Uncertain systems under random perturbations, simulation of random functions for numerical solutions (non-stationary, non-Gaussian, multi-variate processes, multi-dimensional fields). Students cannot receive credit for both CEE 358 and CEE 458 . Prerequisites: CEE 352
