Sand Sieve Analysis

Script that allows you to know the main parameters of a sand sieve analysis

Description

Sand Sieve Analysis
1. With this routine you can get the sand sieve analysis. Routine displays the computation of the particle-size distribution in different windows. Moreover, you can get the main parameters of statistics analysis: percentiles, mean, standard deviation, kurtosis, etc.

2. Inputs:
A variable with the name "Granulometrias", this variable has to have your data.
>> Granulometria = [ sieve_mesh1 weight1; sieve_mesh2 weight2; ... sieve_meshn weightn];
>> SieveAnalysis5(Granulometrias)

3. Outputs
Graphs of:
          Histogram.
          Frecuency Curve.
          Cumulative Arithmetic Curve.
          Cumulative Probability
                    Arithmetic Curve.
          Cumulative Probability
                    Semi-Log Curve.
          Cumulative Probability
                    Logarithmic Curve.
          D5, D10, D16, D25, D30, D50,
          D60, D75, D84, D95.
          Mean grain size.
          Standard Deviation.
          Skewness.
          Kurtosis.
          Coefficient of curvature.
          Coefficient of uniformity.
          Qualitative sediment
           distribution ranges for
           standard deviation, skewness
           and kurtosis.
          ASTM, USCS and Wentworth's
           Classifications.

excellent job boss

If you have a 1024 x 768 screen, you must put a comment in the line (22) or delete the line:
screen = screen - 256;

If using Mac OS X you'll need to modify directory paths specified in the m-files - the m file code specifies directory separators as backward slashes (\) and Mac OS X uses forward slashes (/). Simply look for the directory specifications and modify.

If you are using the default screen resolution you'll also need to modify lines 22 and 23. Comment out line 22 and for screen resolution of 1280x854 make line 23

vpan = screen(1,4)-120; hpan = screen(1,3)-250;

I think this program is very nice. However, it doest'w work in Matlab7 SP2. Could you fix this problem? Thanks.

[yp wang]

I find it works well by just commenting out the line 22.

Canot down load the Exe file

[paul powers]

I AGREE. Download happens but NO .exe file

[Vaani Ram]

cant download.. can anyone help..plz!

[sundar naga]

i want to do more no of samples ,i think it is very useful to me

[Derf Uwe]

For me it's ok, I think that if we wanted to improve the script, we could do it. It's true this script need some changes, but C'mon we can't expect that every script that we find, it solves exactly our problems.

how open the file?, is .m file and how run the software?

Hello Gabriel! I have a question, it's posible to use your rutine with images rgb? or gray images?

[FJ Way]

Can the author supply a little more information on the calculations? I have compared results with another 'method of moment' software and found some differences in the results. Thanks.
