β¦ Synopsis
This paper presents an accurate algorithm for structural non-stationary random seismic responses. The ground acceleration is assumed to be an evolutionary random process, of which the modulation function is non-uniformly modulated, i.e. it depends on both time and frequency. The method is used to compute the non-stationary seismic responses of a non-uniform shear beam. The dependency of the power spectral densities of the excitations and of the responses on time and frequency is discussed, based on numerical results.

In order to give some information about statistical properties in frequency domain, the partial spectrum of a non-stationary random response is defined and illustrated. With time t as a fixed parameter, the partial spectrum is uniquely determined by the time-dependent covariance function of the resp
The seismic behaviour of large-size structures subjected to multiple-support excitation is studied by means of a random vibration approach. Ground motion is modelled as a non-stationary stochastic process having an evolutionary spectral density. To describe the spatial variability of the input motio
