The Rice characteristic frequency f of a time history is where y is the amplitude It is useful for estimating the dominant frequency for signal which is fairly sinusoidal. Here is a Matlab script: rice_frequency.m See also: Vibrationdata Signal Analysis Package – Tom Irvine
God speaks to us through the Holy Scriptures. 10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received… Read more
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. 23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; 24 Knowing… Read more
Here is a C++ program which generates random numbers for a user-selected distribution. monte_carlo_random.cpp monte_carlo_random.exe The distribution options are: 1. Uniform 2. Normal 3. Rayleigh 4. Weibull 5. Gumbel 6. Binomial The random numbers can then be used in a Monte Carlo analysis. * *… Read more
The Nyquist frequency is equal to one-half the sampling rate. Shannon’s sampling theorem states that a sampled time signal must not contain components at frequencies above the Nyquist frequency. Otherwise, an aliasing error will occur. * * * Here are some papers: Notes on sample… Read more

Here is a good website for curve-fitting: zunzun From the website… Here you can curve fit and surface fit your 2D and 3D data online with a rich set of error histograms, error plots, curve plots, surface plots, contour plots, VRML, auto-generated source code, and… Read more
I have never formally published any of my papers in a refereed journal or even in an engineering magazine, but others who have done so have referenced my tutorial papers. I am enclosing samples, which include conference papers, etc. – Tom Irvine * * *… Read more
Consider a lightly damped, single-degree-of-freedom system subjected to broadband random base excitation. The system will tend to behave as a bandpass filter. The bandpass filter center frequency will occur at or near the system’s natural frequency. The system response will thus tend to be narrowband… Read more
