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
a seismological models.
pyRVT can be installed with pip:
$ python -m pip install pyrvtAlternatively, you can grab the latest source code from GitHub:
$ git clone https://github.com/arkottke/pyrvt.git
$ cd pyrvt
$ pip install .
