Quick Look assessment and comparison of vibration specifications

A technique is developed by correlating sine, shock or random to the equations obtained via a response spectrum analysis solution for random vibration. By means of this correlation, which is developed for simple then complex structures, it is shown that only one analysis technique need be used to solve all or any one of the designing dynamic environments for a given structure. The proposed technique is simpler and more cost effective than standard solution techniques. Applicable assumptions and limitations are discussed.
