Obtaining Mode Shapes through the Karhunen-Loève Expansion for Distributed-Parameter Linear Systems

The Karhunen-Loève expansion is a powerful spectral technique for the analysis and synthesis of dynamical systems. It consists in decomposing a spatial correlation matrix, which can be obtained through numerical or physical experiments. The decomposition produces orthogonal eigenfunctions or proper...
