Abstract: In the study of the response of systems to an excitation there are circumstances when it is desirable to obtain some overall or average characterization of the system and its response rather ...

Abstract: The aim of the paper is to compare Fourier methods and three parametric methods as techniques for the analysis of data acquired from a vibrating structure. The parametric methods include the ...

Abstract: A method of deconvolution has been developed which uses the techniques of optimal control. The application of the technique to velocity meter signals is presented. It is shown that provided a ...

Abstract: Vehicles moving on rough surfaces are subject to inputs which are often conveniently regarded as random processes. In general, the excitation process is “perceived” by the vehicle as a nonstationary ...

Abstract: The motion of vehicles traveling over rough ground at variable speed is non-stationary. In this paper, a method for the computation of response variance is presented which uses the concept of ...
