Abstract:
The conditional simulation of non-Gaussian excitations utilizing records from the monitoring system is of great significance for hazard mitigation. To this end, this paper proposes a novel conditional non-Gaussian simulation method. In this method, the Unified Hermite Polynomial Model (UHPM) is used to describe the transformation relationship between recorded and unrecorded non-Gaussian processes and their underlying Gaussian counterparts. Meanwhile, an explicit transformation model between their correlation functions is also provided. Then, the covariance matrix of Fourier coefficients of the underlying Gaussian processes is constructed. Based on this covariance matrix, the conditional samples of Fourier coefficients are generated and substituted into the Spectral Representation Method (SRM) to perform the conditional simulation of the underlying Gaussian processes. Finally, the conditionally simulated samples of the underlying Gaussian processes are transformed into the non-Gaussian samples by the UHPM. To showcase the precision and efficacy of the proposed method, two numerical examples involving the conditional simulations of non-Gaussian ground motions and non-Gaussian wind pressure coefficients are provided. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd
