Infinite integral?

[edit]

The text states that "Theoretically the integral should be infinite." This cannot be correct as the accelerations are always finite as is the duration of the ground motion. I downloaded the referenced paper and indeed includes this comment but it is mathematically, physically and logically incorrect. After all, if the result of the integral is infinite, then there will be nothing to compare in terms of the intensity of the ground motions. I believe that the referenced paper has a mistake there and I propose to remove this phrase. ManosGR (talk) 05:59, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
