Journal ArticleDOI
A new definition of the rainflow cycle counting method
TL;DR: In this article, a new equivalent definition of the rainflow cycle counting method is presented, which expresses the rain flow cycle amplitudes in explicit analytical formulae, and attaches to each maximum of the strain function the amplitude of a corresponding cycle or two half cycles, which are evaluated independently from each other.
WAFO - A Matlab Toolbox For Analysis of Random Waves And Loads
TL;DR: This is a tutorial for how to use the MATLAB toolbox WAFO for analysis and simulation of random waves and random fatigue, which represents a considerable development of two earlier toolboxes, the FAT and WAT, for fatigue and wave analysis, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Note on cycle counts in irregular loads
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss cycle counting methods, such as rainflow-, crest-to-trough, positive peak-count and different damage accumulation rules, for irregular random loads, which have an infinite number of local extremes in finite intervals, e.g. the fourth spectral moment is infinite.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the 'narrow-band' approximation for expected fatigue damage
TL;DR: In this article, a general upper bound for the fatigue damage determined using the Miner-Palmgren rule and the rainflow counting method for any load with finite expected crossing intensity is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Models for road surface roughness
TL;DR: In this article, three road profile models are proposed: a homogenous Laplace moving average process, a non-homogeneous Laplace process and a hybrid model that combines Gaussian and Laplace modelling.
