Popis: The aim of this paper is to investigate the stochastic features of two-dimensional lateral damped oscillations of PWR core internals that are induced by random force components. It is also investigated how these vibrating components, or the forces giving rise to the vibrations, could be diagnosed through the analysis of displacement or neutron noise signals. The approach pursued here is to select a realisation of the random force components, then the equations of the motion are integrated and the time history of displacement components is obtained. From here various statistical descriptors of the motion, such as trajectory pattern, spectra and PDF functions etc., can be calculated. It was investigated how these statistical descriptors depend on the characteristics of the driving force for both stationary and non-stationary cases. A conclusion of possible diagnostical relevance is that, under certain circumstances, the PDF functions could be an indicator of whether a particular peak in the corresponding power spectra belongs to a resonance in system transfer or rather a resonance in the external driving force.
