Abstract
Representation of nonstationary stochastic excitations is crucial for stochastic response analyses of (time-varying) linear and nonlinear structural systems. This paper proposes a new representation method of non-stationary stochastic excitations based on the generalized harmonic wavelet (GHW) that takes the phase angles and frequencies as basic random variables. The orthogonal properties of the discrete-form spectral process increments describing non-stationary stochastic processes are formulated. Then the GHW-based representation is derived by using the orthogonal properties. This method can be used to accurately reproduce non-stationary stochastic excitations with the target asymptotic Gaussianity and evolutionary power spectrum density. The effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method have been validated via numerical examples. This study provides a novel way for the representation of non-stationary processes and deserves to be applied in the stochastic response analyses of structures.
