    This document discusses the simulation of artificial accelerograms for near-field earthquake pulses. It describes using wavelet functions to define pulse simulations and the effect of gamma and nu factors. It also discusses fitting existing accelerograms to target acceleration spectra to create semi-artificial records and compares original versus target spectra. The goal is to generate synthetic time histories and acceleration/velocity spectra that match target responses for different earthquake magnitudes.
