  2. Response spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Response_spectrum

    A series of mixed vertical oscillators A plot of the peak acceleration for the mixed vertical oscillators. A response spectrum is a plot of the peak or steady-state response (displacement, velocity or acceleration) of a series of oscillators of varying natural frequency, that are forced into motion by the same base vibration or shock.

  3. Shock response spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_response_spectrum

    A Shock Response Spectrum (SRS) [1] is a graphical representation of a shock, or any other transient acceleration input, in terms of how a Single Degree Of Freedom (SDOF) system (like a mass on a spring) would respond to that input. The horizontal axis shows the natural frequency of a hypothetical SDOF, and the vertical axis shows the peak ...

  4. Spectral acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_acceleration

    Ground motion hazard map for Hawaii, based on a 2% probability of exceeding 0.2 second spectral acceleration at 5 Hz in 50 years. Spectral acceleration (SA) is a unit measured in g (the acceleration due to Earth's gravity, equivalent to g-force) that describes the maximum acceleration in an earthquake on an object – specifically a damped, harmonic oscillator moving in one physical dimension.

  5. Pseudo-spectral method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudo-spectral_method

    However, the pseudo-spectral method allows the use of a fast Fourier transform, which scales as (⁡), and is therefore significantly more efficient than the matrix multiplication. Also, the function V ( x ) {\displaystyle V(x)} can be used directly without evaluating any additional integrals.

  6. Shock (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_(mechanics)

    Shock is a vector that has units of an acceleration (rate of change of velocity). The unit g (or g ) represents multiples of the standard acceleration of gravity and is conventionally used. A shock pulse can be characterised by its peak acceleration, the duration, and the shape of the shock pulse (half sine, triangular, trapezoidal, etc.).

  7. Pseudorapidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorapidity

    A boost of velocity along the beam-axis of velocity corresponds to an additive change in rapidity of using the relation = ⁡. Under such a Lorentz transformation , the rapidity of a particle will become y ′ = y + y boost {\\displaystyle y'=y+y_{\\text{boost}}} and the four-momentum becomes

  8. Bartlett's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartlett's_method

    [2] [3] A final estimate of the spectrum at a given frequency is obtained by averaging the estimates from the periodograms (at the same frequency) derived from non-overlapping portions of the original series. The method is used in physics, engineering, and applied mathematics. Common applications of Bartlett's method are frequency response ...

  9. Spectral line shape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_line_shape

    Absorption spectrum of an aqueous solution of potassium permanganate.The spectrum consists of a series of overlapping lines belonging to a vibronic progression. Spectral line shape or spectral line profile describes the form of an electromagnetic spectrum in the vicinity of a spectral line – a region of stronger or weaker intensity in the spectrum.
