The standard method is to calculate the area under the curve of the appropriate trace. If the curve follows a known deterministic function then a [...]]]> http://blog.prosig.com/2007/10/05/calculating-velocity-or-displacement-from-acceleration-time-histories/feed/ 6 Acceleration, Velocity & Displacement Spectra – Omega Arithmetic http://blog.prosig.com/2006/12/07/acceleration-velocity-displacement-spectra-%e2%80%93-omega-arithmetic/ http://blog.prosig.com/2006/12/07/acceleration-velocity-displacement-spectra-%e2%80%93-omega-arithmetic/#comments Thu, 07 Dec 2006 08:50:39 +0000 Dr Colin Mercer http://blog.prosig.com/2006/12/07/acceleration-velocity-displacement-spectra-%e2%80%93-omega-arithmetic/ Accelerometers are robust, simple to use and readily available transducers. Measuring velocity and displacement directly is not simple. In a [...]]]> http://blog.prosig.com/2006/12/07/acceleration-velocity-displacement-spectra-%e2%80%93-omega-arithmetic/feed/ 5
