ORIGIN OF THE RESPONSE SPECTRUM METHOD

摘要：

Writing about the early history and formative ideas of a given subject helps in documenting what is known, and in searching for the key factors that have led to the formulation of a new concept. History teaches us about the key players, their teachers, and the times in which they lived-and leads us to discover the anatomy of the process that led to the new ideas. Today, when we study a broad spectrum of natural and societal phenomena, it is only natural and logical to try to research also the origins and the conditions surrounding the development of a significant new concept. In the following, we outline the early history of the response spectrum method. We discuss the vibrational versus wave methods of solution, and examine the consequences this had on the earthquake engineering profession.
