Dramatic Effect of Cross-Correlations in Random Vibrations of Discrete Systems, Beams, Plates, and Shells

Focusing on the impact of cross-correlations, this volume highlights their critical role in the structural response of various dynamic systems, such as aircraft, ships, and vehicles. Professor Isaac Elishakoff emphasizes the often-overlooked significance of these correlations, demonstrating that ignoring them can lead to substantial underestimations of structural responses due to random vibrations. The book addresses the analytical challenges involved in evaluating cross-correlations, making a compelling case for their consideration in engineering assessments.
