Is the 1-sigma random vibration (PSD) EPELEQV (equivalent strain) computed like the Segalman-Reese SEQV (equivalent stress)?


No. It is computed on a mode-by-mode basis and is summed directly (similar to how load case combinations are done with SUMTYPE,PRIN), so the value is an upper bound.

This 1-mode test shows that EPELEQV is computed from the modal results (factored by the mode coefficient) and matches the EPELEQV reported for load step 3.
