Summary
Probabilistic characteristics are developed for peak responses of simple oscillators subject to stationary and nonstationary Student’s t ground accelerations. The Student’s t model is more general than the Gaussian model, which is usually used in random vibration analyses, and is invariant to linear transformations. Random vibration analyses with Student’s t inputs require slightly more calculations than analyses involving Gaussian excitations.
