Whole Body Vibration (WBV) analysis for continuous vibration uses assessment criteria defined in the ISO2631 standard and the EEC vibration directive 2002/44/EC. These assessments are based on the processing of…
Various human body vibration measurements and assessments are defined in the ISO2631, ISO5349, ISO6954 standards and also in the EEC vibration directive 2002/44/EC. These assessments are based on the analysis…
The Auto Spectral Density or Auto RMS spectrum analyses uses Fourier Transforms to process optionally overlapped sections of the input data. The result of each Fourier analysed section is called a periodogram. We then process all the resulting periodograms to produce a spectral result. (more…)
What sample rate should I use if I am measuring whole body vibration? Strict ISO8041 compliance imposes a minimum sample rate of 900 samples per second. This ensures the amplitude…
A user has three signals captured using a triaxial accelerometer and asked “What is the simplest way to get the XYZ resultant from run-up file?” He had tried forming a resultant of the raw time histories, but didn’t fully understand the resultant time history.
Of course, the correct way of processing the data is to calculate the individual waterfalls from the x, y & z data and then calculate a resultant waterfall. (more…)
A user recently asked…
[su_quote]I was hoping you can give me some way that I can create a plot with two different vertical (Y axis) scaling. I want to plot Principle stress and applied load vs. time on the same plot.
I want to show the principle stress increments on the left side of the graph and the load scale on the right side of the graph. I can do this with some other programs but cannot find a way to do it in DATS for Windows.
Is this POSSIBLE?[/su_quote] (more…)
Use the following sequence to get the Articulation Index (AI) vs rotational speed: Perform waterfall analysis on your noise signal (+ tacho). This gives you a standard waterfall display On…
When we are dealing with multiple measurements we often need to calculate a resultant vector to understand their combined effect. What do we mean by this? And how do we…
