The subject of this paper is the simulation of one-dimensional, uni-variate, stationary,
Gaussian stochastic processes using the spectral representation method. Following this …

A powerful tool in computational stochastic mechanics is the stochastic finite element
method (SFEM). SFEM is an extension of the classical deterministic FE approach to the …

One of the first engineering books to cover wavelet analysis, this classic text describes and
illustrates basic theory, with a detailed explanation of the workings of discrete wavelet …

In Stochastic Dynamics of Structures, Li and Chen present a unified view of the theory and
techniques for stochastic dynamics analysis, prediction of reliability, and system control of …

A tendency to erect ever more wind turbines can be observed in order to reduce the
environmental consequences of electric power generation. As a result of this, in the near …

A comprehensive review of wind turbine aeroelasticity is given. The aerodynamic part starts
with the simple aerodynamic Blade Element Momentum Method and ends with giving a …

A simulation algorithm is proposed to generate sample functions of a stationary, multivariate
stochastic process according to its prescribed cross-spectral density matrix. If the …

An efficient algorithm to simulate turbulent, atmospheric or wind tunnel generated wind fields
is devised. The method is based on a model of the spectral tensor for atmospheric surface …

Many high concrete face rockfill dams (CFRDs) have been constructed in earthquake-prone
areas in recent years, and it is essential to evaluate the seismic safety performance of these …

This book is about modeling as a prinicipal component of scientific investigations. In general
terms, modeling is the funamental process of combining intellectual creativity with physical …
