I'm currently writing and trying to program about shfs and shms and cant get any results. Trying to reproduce with psds some stochastic harmonic functions (SHFs) /methods (SHMs) The psd is clear, just a function about earthquakes. SHM is also clear but the function in pic 1:pic1 gives me problems. What is N? Is N the sum of t const. and omega_i iterating over all the steps before? Like list1 = "function1" + list1[i-1] ? the second thing: SHF shf formula omega_dash is differently described as omega omega_dash and I'm not sure if the difference is meant or not. I already got the psd, looking like that: psd saved in a list. My shm looks in code like this: def SHM(psd,t, ele): i = 1 y = [0] phi = random.uniform(0, 2 * 3.14) while i != ele: y.append((A(i, psd) * math.cos(i*t+phi)) + y[i-1) i = i+1 return y with A being: def A(i, S_0): dw = 1 s = (2*(S_0*dw)**0.5) return s And my inputs are: while z != 5000: while i != 80: psd.append(RuPe(S0,omega,omega*0.1,i,daem,daem)) i = i+1 #plt.plot(SHF(psd,80,10)) z = z+1 RuPe is the PSD Formula with z,i starting as 0 SHM Results and I have no idea how to get SHF to work, so I got results like this: def SHF(psd, t, ele): i = 1 y = [0,] phi = random.uniform(0, 2 * 3.14) while i != ele: if i == 0: a = A(i,psd) else: a = abs(A(i,psd) - A(i-1,psd)) y.append(a * math.cos((i) * t + phi)) #'''y[i-1])''' i = i + 1 return y SHF results maybe there is another guy with experience in stochastics and could help me :/ PSD Code: def RuPe(S_0,w_0,w_1,w,dam,dam_1): o1 = (1 + 4*(dam)**2*(w/w_0)**2) u1 = (1-(w/w_0)**2)**2 + 4*dam**2*(w/w_0)**2 o2 = (w/w_1)**4 u2 = (1-(w/w_1)**2)**2 + 4*dam_1**2 * (w/w_1)**2 s = ((o1*o2)/(u1*u2))*S_0 return s with omega = 15.71 daem = 0.7 S0 = 10 Continue reading...
