Professor Isaac Elishakoff emphasizes the often-overlooked significance of these correlations, demonstrating that ignoring them can lead to substantial underestimations of structural responses due to random vibrations. The book addresses the analytical challenges involved in evaluating cross-correlations, making a compelling case for their consideration in engineering assessments.
