This set of Matlab scripts calculates the response of a single-degree-of-freedom system to an acceleration power spectral density base input: sdof_ran.zip
The power spectral density may vary arbitrarily with frequency.
The main script is: sdof_ran.m
The user must specify the natural frequency and damping ratio.
The script performs a point-by-point multiplication of the base input by the power transmissibility function. This method is more accurate than Miles equation which assumes a constant PSD over the frequency domain from zero to infinity.
The input file must have two columns: frequency(Hz) & accel(G^2/Hz)

A vibration response spectrum can be calculated for a single-degree-of-freedom system for the case where natural frequency is left as an independent variable.
Matlab scripts for this calculation are given at: VRS.zip
The main script is: VRS.m

Tom, you don’t happen to have an executable/cpp version, do you? Or can you point me to which one is in your suite of software?
