A computer-implemented method of modelling a root-mean-square stress in a structure induced by a random load. The method comprises determining a modal correction factor based on data representing the eigensolution for the structure in free vibration. The modal correction factor characterises the proportion of the random load, which is attributable to the root-mean-square response of the structure. Once the modal correction factor has been calculated, it is applied to data representing a stress in the structure due to a forced vibration to thereby determine the root-mean-square stress induced by the random load. |
