Random Vibrations of Structures under Propagating Excitations

1995

The problem of vibrations of structures under incoherent or, in particular, propagating excitations is important for large, extended civil engineering structures like bridges, lifelines, dams, offshore structures or for aircraft structures. In seismic engineering spatial ground motion models have been studied for more than a decade but credible, stochastic characteristics are available only since SMART-1 accelerograph array is in operation at Lotung in Taiwan.
