To Promote Independent Innovation in the Engineering Application of Random Vibration THeory in China

Randomness is a basic phenomenon in nature, such as earthquake, wind, wave, high-altitude air flow, road roughness and so on. This kind of environmental load is very important for the safety and durability of structures, as well as the comfort of the people. Modern industry advances with increasing demand on mechanical analysis, and random vibration as an emerging technical discipline receives more and more attentions from the engineering and academic domain, developing rapidly and deeply while being the frontier and hotspot at home and abroad. Therefore, Applied Mathematics and Mechanics had the honor to invite Prof. Zhai Wan-ming of Southwest JiaoTong University, Prof. Li Jie of Tongji University and Prof. Lin Jia-hao of Dalian University of Technology as the guest editors, to compile this Special Issue on Random Vibration and Its Engineering Application, and from different angles to mainly reflect domestic innovations in the fields of random vibration.
