Summary

The paper treats the general problem of the response to multiple random excitation of a system having n degrees of freedom. Analysis is developed which connects the spectral density matrix of a set of generalised coordinates with that of corresponding generalised forces, and makes explicit the contributions of the various normal modes. The case of two degrees of freedom is considered in detail. The importance of cross-correlations between modes is shown by determining their effects on spectra and on mean-square response.
