Drgania konstrukcji i stochastyczne modele uszkodzeń

The objective of the paper is to present the problems and new results concerned with random vibrations of continuous structural systems with a special emphasize to associated reliability problems. After a short description of basic methods of stochastic dynamics of structural systems the attention is focused on probabilistic models for fatigue failures. The stochastic Marcovian models for fatigue accumulation and some models associated with fatigue crack propagation are discussed in detail.
