Simulation of ground acceleration record
Time series of acceleration records are simulated using a stationnary process that is "weighted" by an envelopp function. The function that fullfills this procedure is 'seismSim'.
Then we try to retrieve the parameters of the simulated seismic record by using the function 'fitKT'
clear all;close all;clc; f = linspace(0,40,2048); % frequency vector zeta = 0.3; % bandwidth of the earthquake excitation. sigma = 0.3; % standard deviation of the excitation. fn =5; % dominant frequency of the earthquake excitation (Hz). T90 = 0.3; % value of the envelop function at 90 percent of the duration. eps = 0.4; % normalized duration time when ground motion achieves peak. tn = 30; % duration of ground motion (seconds). % function call [y,t] = seismSim(sigma,fn,zeta,f,T90,eps,tn); % y: acceleration record % t: time figure plot(t,y); xlabel('time (s)') ylabel('ground acceleration (m/s^2)') axis tight set(gcf,'color','w')
Fitting the ground acceleratoin record to target spectra & envelop
guessEnvelop=[0.33,0.43,50]; % guest for envelop guessKT = [1,1,5]; % guess for spectrum [T90,eps,tn,zeta,sigma,fn] = fitKT(t,y,guessEnvelop,guessKT,... 'dataPlot','yes');
