Wavelet solution techniques have become the focus of interest among researchers in different disciplines of science and technology. In this paper, implementation of two different wavelet basis functions has been comparatively considered for dynamic analysis of structures. For this aim, computational technique is developed by using free scale of simple Haar wavelet, initially. Later, complex and continuous Chebyshev wavelet basis functions are presented to improve the time history analysis of structures. Free-scaled Chebyshev coefficient matrix and operation of integration are derived to directly approximate displacements of the corresponding system. In addition, stability of responses has been investigated for the proposed algorithm of discrete Haar wavelet compared against continuous Chebyshev wavelet. To demonstrate the validity of the wavelet-based algorithms, aforesaid schemes have been extended to the linear and nonlinear structural dynamics. The effectiveness of free-scaled Chebyshev wavelet has been compared with simple Haar wavelet and two common integration methods. It is deduced that either indirect method proposed for discrete Haar wavelet or direct approach for continuous Chebyshev wavelet is unconditionally stable. Finally, it is concluded that numerical solution is highly benefited by the least computation time involved and high accuracy of response, particularly using low scale of complex Chebyshev wavelet.

We introduce Chebyshev wavelet analysis method to solve the nonlinear Troesch and Bratu problems. Chebyshev wavelets expansions together with operational matrix of derivative are employed to reduce the computation of nonlinear problems to a system of algebraic equations. Several examples are given to validate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed technique. We compare the results with those ones reported in the literature in order to demonstrate that the method converges rapidly and approximates the exact solution very accurately by using only a small number of Chebyshev wavelet basis functions. Convergence analysis is also included.

The time history analysis is used to estimate the peak responses of structures subjected to stationary and nonstationary winds. The time histories of the fluctuating wind processes at multiple points can be simulated based on the spectral representation method for given target auto and cross power spectral density (PSD) functions. As the number of the processes of interest increases, the computation time for the simulation increases drastically. For the stationary homogeneous or nonhomogeneous wind fields, this problem can be overcome by using the frequency-wavenumber PSD function to simulate the stochastic propagating waves or fields. In the present study, a technique to simulate the amplitude modulated and frequency modulated nonstationary and nonhomogeneous stochastic propagating wind fields is presented. The technique relies on representing the nonstationary wind velocity by amplitude modulating a process that is time transformed from a stationary process. It is based on the established relations between the PSD functions of the nonstationary and of the stationary wind velocity. Simple to use and implement equations to carry out the simulation for one-dimensional line wind velocity field and two-dimensional nonstationary and nonhomogeneous wind velocity field are presented. The use of the developed technique and its adequacy is illustrated through numerical examples.

Struktur rangka baja pemikul momen merupakan jenis struktur baja tahan gempa yang populer digunakan. Daktilitas struktur yang tinggi merupakan salah satu keunggulan struktur ini, sehingga mampu menahan deformasi inelastik yang besar. Dalam desain, penggunaan metode desain elastis berupa evaluasi non-linear static (Pushover analysis) maupun evaluasi non-linear analisis (Time History Analysis) masih digunakan sebagai dasar perencanaan meskipun perilaku struktur sebenarnya saat kondisi inelastik tidak dapat digambarkan dengan baik. Metode Performance-Based Plastic Design (PBPD) berkembang untuk melihat perilaku struktur sebenarnya dengan cara menetapkan terlebih dahulu simpangan dan mekanisme leleh struktur sehingga gaya geser dasar yang digunakan adalah sama dengan usaha yang dibutuhkan untuk mendorong struktur hingga tercapai simpangan yang telah direncanakan. Studi dilakukan terhadap struktur baja 5 lantai yang diberi beban gempa berdasarkan SNI 1726, 2012 dan berdasarkan metode PBPD. Hasil analisa menunjukkan bahwa struktur yang diberi gaya gempa berdasarkan metode PBPD mencapai simpangan maksimum sesuai simpangan rencana dan kinerja struktur yang dihasilkan lebih baik .

Due to the upgrade and reconstruct of a high-piled wharf, the piling construction may cause the damage of the large diameter underground pipe of a power plant nearby. For this problem, a dynamic time-history analysis model was established using MIDAS/GTS program. Based on the analysis of the pile driving vibration and its propagation law, some parameters, such as the modulus of the soil, the Poissons ratio of soil, the action time of vibration load and the damping ratio of the soil that may have an effect on the response law of the soil, were studied. The study results not only serve as an important inference to the construction of this case, but also accumulate experience and data for other similar engineering practices.

The wavelet basis functions are introduced into the radiative transfer equation in the frequency domain. The intensity of radiation is expanded in terms of Daubechies’ wrapped-around wavelet functions. It is shown that the wavelet basis approach to modeling nongrayness can be incorporated into any solution method for the equation of transfer. In this paper the resulting system of equations is solved for the one-dimensional radiative equilibrium problem using the P-N approximation.
