Simulation of random envelope processes.
TL;DR: In this paper, an efficient and practical method of simulating stationary and non-stationary random envelope processes is presented, in which the stationary envelope processes are simulated by using the fast Fourier transform while the nonstationary envelope process is simulated as the square root of the sum of a series of cosine functions with random phase angles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of Optimal Control Theory to Civil Engineering Structures
TL;DR: In this article, an exploratory study is made to investigate the feasibility of applying such a theory to control the vibration of civil engineering structures under random loadings, where it is assumed that random excitations to structures, such as wind loads and earthquakes, can be modeled by passing either a stationary Gaussian white noise or a nonstationary Gaussian shot noise through a filter.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the normality and accuracy of simulated random processes
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the simulated random processes are asymptotically Gaussian processes as the number of terms, N, of sine or cosine functions approaches infinity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonstationary Envelope Process and First Excursion Probability
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extended the stationary random envelope definition to the envelope of nonstationary random processes possessing evolutionary power spectral densities and derived the density, the joint density function, the moment function, and the crossing rate of a level of the non-stationary envelope process.
Journal ArticleDOI
First‐Passage Time Problem
Jann-Nan Yang,Masanobu Shinozuka +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the first-passage probability of a linear single-degree-of-freedom vibratory system with a linear viscous damping and subjected to either stationary or nonstationary white noise excitation was analyzed.
