Course Objective

Systems subject to random excitations require different concepts and methods of analysis those used for harmonic or transient vibrations. The theory of random processes is an outgrowth of probability theory. In this course, it is aimed to present the pertinent results of the probability and statistics, and the principles of random vibration in a form that is directly applicable to mechanical problems; to inform the students on the application of these principles to problems of mechanical design.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Defining random vibration and its sources.
2   Distinguishing different random processes.
3   Solving the problems of random vibration transmission.
4   Analysing the response on the basis of various parameters affecting random vibration.
5   Predicting the type of failure due to random vibration.
6   Gathering the principles of random vibration to design mechanical elements and systems free from failure.
