In this paper, effectiveness of a stationary approximation is examined. The mean square response and the first excursion probability of the secondary system such as pipings and mechanical equipment installed in the primary system such as building subjected to nonstationary random excitation are obtained. Results obtained by stationary approximation are compared with those obtained by nonstationary analysis for various values of damping ratio, natural period and mass ratio of the secondary system to the primary system.
