An algorithm that integrates Karhunen–Loeve expansion (KLE) and finite element method (FEM) is proposed to carry out random vibration analysis of complex dynamic systems excited by stationary or non-stationary random processes. In KLE, the auto-covariance function of random process is discretized using orthogonal basis functions. During the response calculations, the eigenvectors of KLE are applied...
