非平稳地震动过程模拟方法(Ⅰ)

SIMULATION OF NON STATIONARY GROUND MOTION PROCESSES (I)

直接由Priestley渐进谱理论导出了非平稳地震动过程模拟的一个谱表示方法. 按照该方法, 样本过程可直接由一余弦级数公式计算产生. 可以证明, 当级数项数足够大时, 模拟的样本过程可准确地反映渐进功率谱规定的性质; 当模拟的样本过程足够多时, 其总体均值和总体自相关函数均趋于相应目标函数; 模拟的样本过程随着级数项数趋于无穷而渐近呈正态分布. 最后对模拟公式的几种特例情况进行了讨论, 其中一种情况得到非平稳白噪声过程模拟公式, 另一种情况退化为平稳随机过程模拟公式.

This paper presents a spectral representation method for simulation of non stationary ground motion processes on the basis of Priestley′s evolutionary spectral theory. Following this method, sample processes can be generated using a cosine series formula. It is showed that, these sample processes accurately reflect the prescribed probabilistic characteristics of the evolutionary power spectral density function when the number of the terms in the cosine series is large enough; and the ensemble expected value and the ensemble autocorrelation function approach the corresponding target functions, respectively, as the sample size increases; and these sample processes are asymptotically normal as the number of the terms in the series tends to infinity. Finally, a few special cases of the formula are discussed, one of which is non stationary white noise process, and other one is reduced to the formula for simulation of stationary stochastic processes.
