A modified Karhunen-Loève Decomposition/Proper Orthogonal Decomposition method, named Smooth Decomposition (SD) (also named smooth Karhunen-Lo'eve decomposition), was recently introduced to analyze stationary random signal. It is based on a generalized eigenproblem defined from the covariance matrix of the random process and the covariance matrix of the associated time-derivative random process. The SD appears to be an interesting tool in terms of modal analysis. In this paper, the SD will be described in case of stationary random processes and extended also to stationary random fields. The main properties will be discussed and illustrated on a randomly excited clamped-free beam.
