Elastic Response Spectrum

30 Apr 2011

This is a function to generate elastic response spectra of an earthquake.

File Information
Description	This is a function to generate elastic response spectra including Displacement Spectrum, Pseudo Acceleration Spectrum and Pseudo Velocity Spectrum which are needed in "Response Spectrum Analysis" of Structures. In this function to solve "Equation of Motions" for different periods, Newmark Linear Method has been used.
MATLAB release	MATLAB 7.8 (R2009a)

27 Mar 2013	MARCO	The downloaded program SPEC (AS IS) reports, in the instruction, to input "Ag" (the accelerogram) in [g] to have the spectrum Sa in [g]. On the contrary, the input "Ag" should be in [m/s/s] to have the spectrum in [g] without any other modification. Bye, M
