Formulation of a Direct Spectral Method for Counting of Cycles for Bi-Modal Stress History

Article Preview

Abstract:

Vibrations of engineering structures are described usually by functions variable in time domain (displacements, stress). For real structures modes of vibrations existing in response of structure due to external excitation are determined by exciting frequency and the natural frequencies of the structure. In the paper, the general idea of method of stress cycle counting, based on the FFT analysis of the stress function response is discussed and compared with the rain-flow cycle counting method, for the case of bi-modal spectrum.
