โฆ Synopsis
The response of a piping system having flexible supports to non-stationary random ground motion is presented. The response is regarded as a Gauss-Markov process. The dynamic resistances offered by the supports are specified in terms of stiffness and damping. The excitations at the supports are non-stationary filtered white noise processes with filters driven by evolutionary white noise representing the bed rock motion. Several illustrative example problems for a typical piping system are solved. Also, the response for a particular example obtained by spectral analysis in the frequency domain is compared with that obtained by the present method of analysis in order to investigate the relative efficiencies of both methods.
