The approximate transient response of quasi in- tegrable Hamiltonian systems under Gaussian white noise excitations is investigated. First, the averaged It6 equa- tions for independent motion integrals and the associated Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov （FPK） equation governing the transient probability density of independent motion integrals of the system are derived by applying the stochastic averag- ing method for quasi integrable Hamiltonian systems. Then, approximate solution of the transient probability density of independent motion integrals is obtained by applying the Galerkin method to solve the FPK equation. The approxi- mate transient solution is expressed as a series in terms of properly selected base functions with time-dependent coeffi- cients. The transient probability densities of displacements and velocities can be derived from that of independent mo- tion integrals. Three examples are given to illustrate the ap- plication of the proposed procedure. It is shown that the re- suits for the three examples obtained by using the proposed procedure agree well with those from Monte Carlo simula- tion of the original systems.
