It examines the responses of seven classes of fractional vibrations driven by five fractional processes, namely, fractional Gaussian noise, generalized fractional Gaussian noise, fractional Brownian motion, fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, the process with the von Kármán spectrum, and the process with the Pierson-Moskowitz spectrum. The present results apply the theories discussed in Volume I to the novel and cutting-edge topic of fractional processes, with a special focus on fractional vibration systems for marine structures influenced by the Pierson-Moskowitz and von Kármán spectra.
The title will be essential reading for students, mathematicians, physicists, and engineers interested in fractional random vibration phenomena.
