Abstract
This monograph has considered a class of engineering systems whose behavior is governed by linear differential equations with coefficients that are modeled as random processes. These coefficients can be associated with random variability in the material properties of the system. In this regard, a material property of an actual system can be thought of as a realization of an appropriate second-order stochastic process.
