MECHANICAL DESIGN FOR RANDOM LOADING,

Abstract

The general problem of mechanical design for statistically defined loads is discussed. Various types of criteria for damage are discussed and illustrated in two problems which are worked out in some detail. One problem involves a measured structural response and a continuous vibration spectrum of excitation, while the other problem involves the calculation of structural response to a discrete frequency vibration excitation and a random shock. Relationships for the response of calculated structural characteristics to a continuous spectrum of vibration excitation are given and their use is discussed. The appendix gives a development of the fundamental relationships involved in random vibration. (Author)
