In the open literature, there are books on statistical dynamics of structures and books on structural dynamics with chapters dealing with random response analysis. However, a systematic treatment of stochastic structural dynamics applying the finite element methods seems to be lacking. Aimed at advanced and specialist levels, the author presents and illustrates analytical and direct integration methods for analyzing the statistics of the response of structures to stochastic loads. The analysis methods are based on structural models represented via the Finite Element Method. In addition to linear problems the text also addresses nonlinear problems and non-stationary random excitation with systems having large spatially stochastic property variations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eA systematic treatment of stochastic structural dynamics applying the finite element methods\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHighly illustrated throughout and aimed at advanced and specialist levels, it focuses on computational aspects instead of theory\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEmphasizes results mainly in the time domain with limited contents in the time-frequency domain\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents and illustrates direction integration methods for analyzing the statistics of the response of linear and nonlinear structures to stochastic loads\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnder Author Information - one change of word to existing text: He is a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)........\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCho Wing Solomon To is Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA.\u003c\/b\u003e He gained his Ph.D from the University of Southampton, UK, in 1980.
