Time-Domain Spectral Matching of Earthquake Ground Motions using Broyden Updating
Time-domain spectral matching of an earthquake ground motion consists of iteratively adding sets of wavelets to an acceleration history until the resulting response spectrum sufficiently matches a target spectrum. The spectral matching procedure is at its core a nonlinear problem because the addition of a wavelet often causes shifting in the time of peak response or creation of a larger second peak at a different time. A modification to existing time-domain spectral matching algorithms is proposed using Broyden updating for solving the set of nonlinear equations. Three wavelet bases are evaluated and the corrected tapered cosine wavelet is selected. The proposed algorithm is then tested and compared with other methods that are commonly used for spectral matching. The results show that the proposed algorithm is able to match the target spectrum while reasonably preserving the spectral nonstationarity, energy development, and the frequency content of the original time histories.
