Abstract
In this paper we study the maximum of Gaussian Fourier series emerging in the analysis of random vibrations of a finite string. Evaluating the distribution of the maximal displacement corresponds to the analysis of the maximum for the related Gaussian Fourier series with independent coefficients. When vibrations are triggered by an initial white noise disturbance (where the instantaneous form of the vibrating string is composed of three processes pieced together) we give upper bounds for the maximal displacement. In the last section we consider forced vibrations at special instants where the instantaneous form of the vibrating string has the structure of a Brownian bridge. This enables us to give the exact distribution of the maximum for the related sine series.

Damped vibrations excited by white noise

TL;DR: In this paper, upper and lower bounds for the distribution of max s v(x, s) and max x v[x, t] are presented by adapting Levy-type inequalities and exploiting a connection of v[, t) with the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process through Slepian's theorem.

On the barrier problem for sine series with independent Gaussian coefficients

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of estimating the probability (1) is solved when the process u(z) belongs to a class of sine series with independent coefficients, and the solution is obtained by identifying process u with the positions of a vibrating string forced by white noise.
