The example of a tank is considered to develop the problem and the model (based on linear assumptions) and several case studies are explored--fixed base, flexible base, lateral and rocking motions of foundations, with and without fluid--to explain how to account for ground motion nonstationarities. Bridge vibrations caused by vehicle passage are explored, as is structural damage identification. Wavelet analytic techniques starting from single degree of freedom systems to multiple degree of freedom systems are set out and detailed solutions of more complicated problems involving soil and fluid interactions are presented. Separate chapters have been devoted to explaining the basic principles of the wavelet-based random nonstationary vibration analysis of nonlinear systems, including probabilistic analysis. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eComprised of seven chapters, this text: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduces the concept and utility of wavelet transform\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes the discretization of ground motions using wavelet coefficients\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplains how to characterize nonstationary ground motions using statistical functionals of wavelet coefficients of seismic accelerations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDevelops the formulation of a linear single-degree-of-freedom system\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eShows stepwise development of the formulation of a structure idealized as a linear multi-degree-of-freedom system in terms of wavelet coefficients\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDefines wavelet domain formulation of a nonlinear single-degree-of-freedom system\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduces the concept of probability in wavelet-based theoretical formulation of a nonlinear two-degree-of-freedom system\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers a variety of case studies highlighting diverse applications\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWavelet Analysis in Civil Engineering\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e explains the importance of wavelets in terms of non-stationarities of ground motions, explores the application of wavelet analytic techniques, and is an excellentresource for users addressing wavelets for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pranesh Chatterjee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 148221055X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781482210552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/12\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Pranesh Chatterjee","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088372674815,"sku":"9781482210552","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3ddf6722-e088-4480-b58d-868fb5d400cc.jpg?v=1769104472","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wavelet-analysis-in-civil-engineering-pranesh-chatterjee-9781482210552","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
