Zusammenfassung:Humans have observed and experienced dynamic random phenomena for millennia through our contact with earthquakes, winds, ocean waves, rough roads and trails. Before people could easily conceptualize harmonic motions, they observed random vibration. Today, random vibration is thought of as the random motion of a structure excited by a random input. The mathematical theory of random vibration is essential to the realistic modeling of structural dynamic systems. This article summarizes the work of some key contributors to the theory of random vibration from its inception in 1905, with the work of Einstein, to the present. Several graphical examples are included. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
