Evolutionary Model for Synthetic Spectrum Compatible Accelerograms

This paper proposes a numerical procedure for the generation of sets of synthetic acceleration time histories that result compatible with an assigned target design spectrum. The proposed formulation is able to take into account both the energy distributio

Preface

It is well known that dynamic phenomena dominate in nature and real-world applications, and that static behaviour can be treated as a particular case of dynamics. Analysis of dynamics can be performed in theoretical, numerical and analytical ways or through experimental observations. This universality of the term of dynamic
