Continuous Sound and Vibration Analysis

by Edward Zechmann

 

09 Sep 2008 (Updated 11 Jan 2012)

This program analyzes sound and vibrations data using metrics for continuous noise and vibrations.

File Information
Description

The main program is Main_sound_and_vibs.m. Up to 100 metrics are for each of sound, hand arm vibrations, whole body vibrations, and motion sickness. Main_sound_and_vibs calls the primary depedent function
"Continuous_Sound_and_Vibrations_Analysis" which contains the switch statement controlling the data flow.

This program calculates metrics for continuous sound and vibrations. Sound metrics include: peaks, Leq, LeqA, LeqC, kurtosis, third octave band peaks and levels, and more.

Vibration metrics for hand-arm include: arms, armq, Dy, peak, crest factor, kurtosis, third octave band levels and peaks, and more.

Vibration metrics for whole-body include: arms, armq, VDV, MSDV, crest factor, kurtosis, third octave band levels and peaks, and more.

The vibration metrics except for the third octave bands are calculated using both the weighted and unweighted filters.

This program prompts the user for all of the inputs to the Continuous_Sound_and_Vibrations_Analysis.m program.

The user selects either matlab or wav files to analyze for sound and vibrations. There are a series of prompts for output filenames, formating of output images of the figures, and the Name of the device under test (Tool Name).

good job!

Estoy empezando a investigar sobre el analisis de vibraciones en maquinas rotativas, me interesa las cosas que haces, voy a analizar tus programas y si puedes apoyarme en algo, ahi te comento, gracias

Added Comments and modified the subprogram find_nums. Fixed a bug with reporting the scaling factors for whole body vibration. Fixed bug where values of the mtrics were not reported to the metrics field.

12 Nov 2008

Fixed a bug in the running average.

21 Jan 2009

Fixed a bug in loading wave files.

27 Apr 2010

Fixed a bug in calculating VDV for whole body vibrations.

18 Jan 2011

Fixed abug in the selection of the posture type. This affects posture types 2-8 including the filter coefficients.

21 Feb 2011

Fixed bugs in outputting vibrations metrics.

11 Jan 2012

Fixed a bug in the calculation of VDV. Thanks to Longqi Wang for finding the bug.
