An iterative procedure for the generation of consistent power/response spectrum

An iterative procedure is presented that allows computation of spectrum-consistent parameters for the description of earthquake/transient motion. The procedure treats the strong motion portion of the earthquake event as being a stationary Gaussian random process, thereby allowing a mapping between t...

Description
Summary:An iterative procedure is presented that allows computation of spectrum-consistent parameters for the description of earthquake/transient motion. The procedure treats the strong motion portion of the earthquake event as being a stationary Gaussian random process, thereby allowing a mapping between the response spectrum and power spectral density function parameters. Several examples of the mapping procedure are presented with comparison to experimental results to demonstrate the validity and usefulness of the approach.
