Synthesis of Vibration Waves Based on Wavelet Technology

Abstract

A novel method to generate time series of vibration waves is proposed in the paper. Considering the frequency band energy as the criterion, synthesis formulas for fluctuating wind pressure and earthquake ground motion are developed in terms of Daubechies wavelet and Harr wavelet respectively. The wavelet reconstruction method is applicable to both stationary and non-stationary process simulation. Theoretically, for non-stationary (such as seismic) process synthesis, it has a better non-stationarity in time-frequency domain than the traditional trigonometric series. Influence of wavelet delamination number and wavelet function type is also analyzed. Numerical results show that the synthesis of vibration waves based on wavelet reconstruction method contains main components of vibration, and can reflect the main properties of practical vibrations.
