Computation of the Laplace inverse transform by application of the wavelet theory

An efficient and robust method of solving Laplace inverse ransform is proposed based on the wavelet theory. The inverse function is expressed as a wavelet expansion with rapid convergence. Several examples are provided to demonstrate the methodology. As an example of application, the proposed inversion method is applied to the dynamic analysis of a single-degree-of-freedom spring–mass–damper system whose damping is described by a stress–strain relation containing fractional derivatives. The results are compared with previous studies. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley Sons, Ltd
