A time-series simulation method, based on the principle of time series modeling for dynamic systems, is used to reproduce a wide-band stress history from a prescribed stress spectral model for fatigue testing of offshore structures. The optimization procedures and stability of the time series model for the prescribed spectrum are presented and discussed. The optimization procedures are developed on the basis of the Levison-Durbin algorithm, which usually produces a stable time series model if the order of the time series model is even. An example is presented to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method to long-time, high-cycle fatigue testing.

Currently, the export regime of a catchment is often characterized by the relationship between compound concentration and discharge in the catchment outlet or, more specifically, by the regression slope in log-concentrations versus log-discharge plots. However, the scattered points in these plots usually do not follow a plain linear regression representation because of different processes (e.g., hysteresis effects). This work proposes a simple stochastic time-series model for simulating compound concentrations in a river based on river discharge. Our model has an explicit transition parameter that can morph the model between chemostatic behavior and chemodynamic behavior. As opposed to the typically used linear regression approach, our model has an additional parameter to account for hysteresis by including correlation over time. We demonstrate the advantages of our model using a high-frequency data series of nitrate concentrations collected with in situ analyzers in a catchment in Germany. Furthermore, we identify event-based optimal scheduling rules for sampling strategies. Overall, our results show that (i) our model is much more robust for estimating the export regime than the usually used regression approach, and (ii) sampling strategies based on extreme events (including both high and low discharge rates) are key to reducing the prediction uncertainty of the catchment behavior. Thus, the results of this study can help characterize the export regime of a catchment and manage water pollution in rivers at lower monitoring costs.
