I understand what you say regarding the sample rate vs event time etc. We work with a standard of 11ms (I've no idea why 11 and not 10) minimum duration of a load for damage to occur. This would suggest a minimum sample rate of 100hz and hence why the 5kHz was reduced to 500Hz. I admit a...
Hi,
I am running a rainflow analysis on some data sampled on a suspension component to help predict the life of the structure. The results from the rainflow analysis is scaled to give component stress (linear relationship assumed) and then using Miner's rule the life of the component is...
