Non-stationary random vibration of linear structures with uncertain parameters is investigated in this paper. A time-domain explicit formulation method is first presented for dynamic response analysis of deterministic structures subjected to non-stationary random excitations. The method is then employed to predict the random responses of a structure with given values of structural parameters, which are used to fit the conditional expectations of responses with relation to the structural random parameters by the response surface technique. Based on the total expectation theorem, the known conditional expectations are averaged to yield the random responses of stochastic structures as the total expectations. A numerical example involving a frame structure is investigated to illustrate the effectiveness of the present approach by comparison with the power spectrum method and the Monte Carlo simulation method. The proposed method is also applied to non-stationary random seismic analysis of a practical arch bridge with structural uncertainties, indicating the feasibility of the present approach for analysis of complex structures.

Multi-scale representations are effective in characterising the time-frequency characteristics of financial return series. They have the capability to reveal the properties not evident with typical time domain analysis. Given the aforesaid, this study derives crucial insights from multi scale analysis to investigate the co-movements between Indian and emerging Asian equity markets using wavelet correlation and wavelet coherence measures. It is reported that the Indian equity market is strongly integrated with Asian equity markets at lower frequency scales and relatively less blended at higher frequencies. On the other hand the results from cross correlations suggest that the lead-lag relationship becomes substantial as we turn to lower frequency scales and finally, wavelet coherence demonstrates that this correlation eventually grows strong in the interim of the crises period at lower frequency scales. Overall the findings are relevant and have strong policy and practical implications.

Accurate actuator tracking is critical to achieve reliable real-time hybrid simulation results for earthquake engineering research. The frequency-domain evaluation approach provides an innovative way for more quantitative post-simulation evaluation of actuator tracking errors compared with existing time domain based techniques. Utilizing the Fast Fourier Transform the approach analyzes the actuator error in terms of amplitude and phrase errors. Existing application of the approach requires using the complete length of the experimental data. To improve the computational efficiency, two techniques including data decimation and frequency decimation are analyzed to reduce the amount of data involved in the frequency-domain evaluation. The presented study aims to enhance the computational efficiency of the approach in order to utilize it for future on-line actuator tracking evaluation. Both computational simulation and laboratory experimental results are analyzed and recommendations on the two decimation factors are provided based on the findings from this study.

The paper deals with an approach to time domain simulation for closed end at the downstream of pipe, hydraulic lines terminating into a tank and series lines with change of cross sectional area. Time domain simulation of a fluid power systems containing hydraulic lines is very complex and difficult if the transfer functions consist of hyperbolic Bessel functions which is the case for the distributed parameter dissipative model. In this paper, the magnitudes and phases of the complex transfer functions of hydraulic lines are calculated, and the MATLAB Toolbox is used to formulate a rational polynomial approximation for these transfer functions in the frequency domain. The approximated transfer functions are accurate over a designated frequency range, and used to analyze the time domain response. This approach is usefully to simulate fluid power systems with hydraulic lines without to approximate the frequency dependent viscous friction.

본 논문은 집중 질량 구조물의 천이응답에 대한 시간영역 민감도 해석의 기본 개념을 설명한다. 외부 가진에 따른 구조물의 응답에 미치는 설계변수 변화의 영향을 구하기 위해 시간영역 민감도 함수를 구하는 방법을 제시하였다. 시간영역에서 구조물의 설계변수 민감도는 1차 표준 민감도 함수와 백분율 민감도 함수를 통해 확인하였다. 이러한 민감도 함수와 그 계산은 설계변수에 대한 시스템 상태변수의 편미분에 의한 것이다. 또한, 직접 미분법에 의한 해석적 방법의 편미분 결과와 수치적 방법에 의한 결과를 비교하였다.

본 논문에서는 케이블로 지지된 프리스트레스트 콘크리트(PC) 뼈대의 시공중의 각 단계를 고려하고 콘크리트와 PC 강재, 케이블 재료의 시간의존적 특성 및 재료의 비선형성과 케이블의 색 및 구조물의 처짐에 의한 기하학적 비선형성도 고려하는 해석방법을 제시했다. 구조물의 비선형거동을 해석하기 위한 운동방정식은 Updated Lagrangian 방식을 이용하여 유도하고 시간의존적인 거동올 해석하기 위해서 시간영역을 시간단계로 나누어 순차적으로 적분했다. 시공중의 각 단계를 표현하기 위해 계속적인 구조계의 변화를 고려했다. 본 논문에서 제시한 해석방법에 근거하여 컴퓨터 프로그램 CFRAME을 개발하고 예제들을 통하여 해석방법의 정당성을 보였다.

The numerical dispersive characteristics and the numerical stability confition of the Multi-Resolution Time-Domain(MRTD) method are calculated. A dispersion analysis of the MRTD schemes including a comparison to Yee's Finite-Difference Time-Domain(FDTD) method is given. The superiority of the MRTD method to the spatial discretization is shown. The required computational memory can be reduced by using the MRTD method. We expect that the MRTD method will be very useful method for numerical modelling of electromagnetics.

본 논문에서는 시간영역에서 완전도체 접지평면 위 수직 전기 다이폴에서 방사되는 전자기해석을 통해 전파의 거리에 따른 전파경로손실을 해석하였다. 자유공간에서 수직 전기 다이폴의 해석은 시간영역과 주파수영역에서 많은 연구가 이루어졌으나 본 논문에서는 특히 접지면 위 수직 다이폴을 기지국으로 가정한 전파경로손실특성을 시간영역에서 해석하였으며 접지면의 영향으로 나타나는 근접장의 위치변화와 모바일에서 수신되는 과도응답을 관찰하였다. 본 논문의 결과는 지표면 레이더 및 신호처리 분야에 응용될 수 있을 것이다.

Explicit Kutta condition approximation, proved useful in existing time-domain solver of the unsteady propeller problem, requires a specified functional behavior of the vorticity in space near the trailing edge. In this paper, the strength of the discrete vortices is controlled to have a specified behavior in space in the frequency domain approach. A new formulation is introduced and is implemented for analysis of a lifting surface of a rectangular planform. Sample computations carried out according to the new formulation compares well with that of existing unsteady lifting problem in the time domain.

Nonlinear wave loads can lead to resonant responses of offshore structures in sum or difference frequencies. In this study, the roll motion of an FPSO with a low natural frequency is simulated in the time domain. To generate the time signals of wave loads, the quadratic transfer functions of the second-order excitations are calculated in the frequency domain. The equations of motions based on the time memory functions are used to evaluate the roll responses in irregular waves. The roll damping in empirical form is accounted for in the simulation.
