over the past decades, great importance, specifically due to its
relevance to technical problems in hydro- and aero-mechanics.
Such problems involve aircraft, rockets and oil-drilling platforms;
elastic vibrations of structures caused by acoustic radiation of a
jet stream and by seismic disturbances must also be included. Applications
of the theory of random vibrations are indeed numerous and
the development of this theory poses a challenge to mathematicians,
mechanicists and engineers. Therefore, a book on random vibrations
by a leading authority such as Dr. V.V. Bolotin must be very welcome
to anybody working in this field. It is not surprising that efforts
were soon made to have the book translated into English.
