Hello,
I'm attempting to create a rainflow analysis of some data for a stress analysis, I'd like results in the form x=amplitude, y=mean and z=number of cycles. I would like to bin the data so there are 16 bins for the mean and 64 bins for the range. Having used the rainflow option in DIAdem I am quite confused by the outputs, and how they relate to the ouputs I'd like.
I've read http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=60&message.id=6159 , however, when I try to use the script provided to change from a FROM-TO matrix to a RANGE-MEAN matrix the script provides an analysis of an example for time, speed, revs and torque, which I don't quite understand where this comes from having looked through the VB.
Apologies if this is a stupid question for something which probably has been answered previously, but I am mystified by DIAdem's outputs on this.
The input data is in the form;
Time | X |
0 | 7514.859 |
0.05 | 9961.005 |
0.1 | 8079.108 |
0.15 | 7614.827 |
0.2 | 12401.93 |
0.25 | 8504.016 |
0.3 | 9413.131 |
0.35 | 8467.512 |
0.4 | 12860.57 |
0.45 | 9557.478 |
0.5 | 8768.006 |
0.55 | 10221.45 |
0.6 | 8396.544 |
