pyRVT 0.8.1

Random vibration theory for earthquake ground motions.

pyRVT

A Python library and command-line application for using random vibration theory to transform between acceleration Fourier amplitude spectrum and acceleration response spectrum.

Information on the installation and usage can be found in the documentation.

pyRVT provides random vibration theory (RVT) models for use in earthquake ground motion models. It provides multiple peak factor models in a common framework such that they can be compared and tested. Additionally, it provides an interface to define RVT based ground motion models through specification of the Fourier amplitude spectrum, acceleration response spectrum, or calculated by seismological models.

Installation

pyRVT can be installed with pip:

$ python -m pip install pyrvt

Alternatively, you can grab the latest source code from GitHub:

$ git clone https://github.com/arkottke/pyrvt.git
$ cd pyrvt
$ pip install .
