Power Spectral Density Overall Level

The overall RMS level of a power spectral density function is equal to the square root of the area under the curve. Power spectral density specifications are typically given in log-log format.  Thus special integration rules apply. The Matlab scripts in psd_integ.zip  calculate the overall… Read more

SDOF Response to an acceleration PSD Base Input

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… Read more

We Saw One . . .

Mark 9 [38] And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. [39] But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which… Read more
