Controlling a system's vibrational behavior, whether for reducing harmful vibrations or for
enhancing useful types, is critical to ensure safe and economical operation as well as longer …

A wavelet‐based formulation has been presented in this paper for the stochastic analysis of
a linear multi‐degree‐of‐freedom (MDOF) classically damped system subjected to …

A new method for the characterization of design seismic excitation through the spectrum-
compatible power spectral density function (PSDFI is proposed. This method is based on …

Seismic hazard analysis for earthquake resistant design of structures is an interdisciplinary
eld involving knowledge from various elds of earth sciences and engineering. This report …

A random process is a family of n-dependent random variables related to a similar
phenomenon that may be functions of one or more independent variables. For a discrete …

Response spectra are commonly used for the estimation of the largest peak response of a
linear structural system in a seismic environment. Traditionally, this has been done through …

A stochastic approach has been formulated for the linear analysis of suspension bridges
subjected to earthquake excitations. The transfer functions of various responses have been …

The long-span bridge response to nonstationary multiple seismic random excitations is
investigated using the PEM (pseudo excitation method). This method transforms the …

The current practice of designing for the most critical earthquake event expected during the
design life of the structure does not account for the possibility of structure getting damaged …

For any time t∈ T (T is a fixed time domain), if X (t) is a random variable, the ensemble of the
random variables [Xt (), t∈ T] can be called a random process. As shown in Figure 4.1, x 1 t …
