TLDR
In this article, a polynomial representation over each finite element of the excitation cross spectral density function is introduced, which allows the spatial integrations involved in evaluating the modal force cross spectral matrix to be carried out in closed form and this matrix can be calculated by an automatic computer process.

On the Fatigue Failure of Structures due to Vibrations Excited by Random Pressure Fields

TL;DR: In this article, a general analysis is made using the ideas of vibration theory and spectrum analysis, on the assumption that the forced modes of vibration of a structure, subjected to pressure fluctuations random in time and space, can be approximated by the composition of the motions of the uncoupled natural modes.

The Effect of Lumped Parameters on Beam Frequencies

TL;DR: In this article, an investigation into the errors involved in using certain lumped parameter methods for the solution of beam frequencies has been made and a new dynamic stiffness matrix has been formulated, which gives consistently good results for even a few elements.

Vibrations of Beams on Many Supports

TL;DR: In this article, the natural frequencies of continuous beam determined from difference equation formulation, these frequencies fall in periodically spaced groups separated by spectral gaps of widths, groups tend to have uniform spectra as number of supports tends to infinity, but gaps remain giving band pass character to entire spectrum.

Response of a multi-supported beam to a random pressure field

TL;DR: In this paper, normal mode techniques are used to study the displacement response spectral density of a beam of finite length resting on many simple supports and subjected either to subsonic boundary layer or far field jet noise pressure fluctuations.
