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

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
