Abstract
The method of investigating the random vibrations of dynamical systems using the theory of the Markov random process and the associated Fokker-Planck equation is presented. Some exact solutions of the Fokker-Planck equation are obtained in the case of certain one-degree and two-degree-of-freedom non-linear suspensions of current practical interest and used in an approximate evaluation of the mean squared response to white-noise excitation.
