Ground Motion Measurements
Table of Contents
1 Preprocessing of id31 ground motion measurement
data = table2array(readtable('./data/id31_camac_floor_PSD_october2014.txt'));
The first column is the frequency vector in Hz.
gm.freqs = data(:, 1);
The other colmns are the PSD of the ground velocity in \(\frac{(\mu m/s)^2}{Hz}\) for the x,y,z axis. It is converted to \(\frac{(m/s)^2}{Hz}\).
gm.psd_vx = 1e-12*data(:, 2); gm.psd_vy = 1e-12*data(:, 3); gm.psd_vz = 1e-12*data(:, 4);
Finally, we integrate the signal to obtain the power spectral density of the ground displacement.
gm.psd_dx = gm.psd_vx./(2*pi*gm.freqs); gm.psd_dy = gm.psd_vy./(2*pi*gm.freqs); gm.psd_dz = gm.psd_vz./(2*pi*gm.freqs);
The pre-processed data are saved.
save('./data/gm_esrf.mat', 'gm');
2 Plots
We load measurements made:
- at ID31
- at ID09
- at CERN
id31 = load('./data/ground_motion_psd.mat'); id09 = load('./data/id09_floor_september2018.mat'); cern = load('./data/ground_motion_dist.mat');
2.1 ID09 Measurements - Time Domain
figure; hold on; plot(id09.time3, 1e-6*id09.x_y_z(:, 1), 'DisplayName', 'dx'); plot(id09.time3, 1e-6*id09.x_y_z(:, 2), 'DisplayName', 'dy'); plot(id09.time3, 1e-6*id09.x_y_z(:, 3), 'DisplayName', 'dz'); hold off; xlabel('Time [s]'); ylabel('Velocity [$m/s$]'); legend();

2.2 Compute PSD of ID09 ground motion
[id09_pxx, id09_f] = pwelch(1e-6*id09.x_y_z(:, 1), hanning(ceil(length(1e-6*id09.x_y_z(:, 1))/10)), 0, [], 1/(id09.time3(end)/(length(id09.time3) - 1)));
2.3 Compare PSD of Cern, ID09 and ID31
figure; hold on; plot(cern.gm.freq, cern.gm.psd, 'DisplayName', 'CERN'); plot(id31.freqs, id31.psd_dx, 'DisplayName', 'ID31'); plot(id09_f, id09_pxx, 'DisplayName', 'ID09'); hold off; set(gca, 'XScale', 'log'); set(gca, 'YScale', 'log'); xlabel('Frequency [Hz]'); ylabel('PSD [$m^2/Hz$]'); legend('Location', 'northeast');
