So far, we have looked at the response of systems todeterministic inputs consisting of known functions of time, and there is, potentially at least, an exactanswer, provided we have all the data.
If the input is a random function of time, and has beenrecorded, then this approach is still possible, but thecalculation would have to be stepwise, very lengthy,and the response would be specific to that particular input.
However, if the average properties of the input do notchange too much with time, much easier methods canbe used.
These require the introduction of new ways of describing the average properties of time histories.
Therefore, we first introduce two new concepts
:amplitude probability
and the
power spectrum
.
