A modified spectral representation method to simulate non-Gaussian random vector process considering wave-passage effect
Highlights A modified SRM is proposed to consider wave-passage effect in vector process. Wave-passage effect is presented in the simulation of non-Gaussian vector process. It is proved the wave-passage part is not changed in the nonlinear translation.
Abstract Wave-passage effect is always of great importance when performing the dynamic analysis of lager scale structures. This effect can be easily considered in the simulation of Gaussian vector process, but there is not an efficient way to consider it in simulating non-Gaussian vector process. In this paper, a method is proposed to generate stationary non-Gaussian vector process considering wave-passage effect. In the simulation of vector process, wave-passage effect leads to a complex-defined cross spectral density matrix (CSDM). To separate the phase part from the CSDM, an improved form of spectral representation method (SRM) is proposed, in which the phase part representing the wave-passage effect can be directly expressed in an explicit form in the simulation formula. Then the characteristic of phase part representing the wave-passage effect during the nonlinear translation (translating underlying Gaussian vector process to the prescribed non-Gaussian vector process) is investigated. Interestingly, it is found that, the phase part is not changed. Based on this good feature, the modified SRM and the iterative scheme can be combined to simulate non-Gaussian vector process considering wave-passage effect. Two examples, involving the simulation of seismic ground motions and wind velocity time histories, are presented to show the characteristics of the simulated vector process and to verify the capabilities of the proposed method.
