In this tutorial, we will perform a random vibration analysis on a truss tower to determine the effect of excitation applied to the base. Random vibration analyses determine how the structure of an object reacts to constant, random vibration such as may be generated in a moving vehicle due to road conditions or wind turbulence. The input excitation is in the form of a power spectrum density, which is a representation of vibration frequencies and energy in a statistical form.
