POWER SPECTRAL DENSITY TECHNIQUES APPLICABLE FOR STRUCTURAL DESIGN CRITERIA AND ANALYSIS STATE-OF-THE-ART REPORT

摘要

A review and analysis of the status of the state-of –the –art regarding application of power spectral density techniques to structural design criteria is presented. The primary objective being to make available a convenient reference giving an organized, readable answer to the questions, “What has been done in applying Power Spectral Techniques?” and “What are some of the potentialities of this tool in helping to solve complex engineering and design problems?” In addition, the report includes a detailed account of some Aeronautical Systems Division experience in applying these techniques, and a brief introduction to spectral analysis techniques.
