Synthesizing a Half-Sine Pulse to Satisfy an SRS

Testing to Shock Response Spectrum (SRS) specifications is usually performed using complex oscillating waveforms.  This is also true for analytical simulation  in the time domain. There are several reasons for this. Complex oscillating pulses can typically meet both the positive and negative SRS for a… Read more

Being a Good Samaritan

Do neighbors await our love, our kindness, our help? A few years ago I read a Reuters news service account of an Alaska Airlines nonstop flight from Anchorage to Seattle, carrying 150 passengers, which was diverted to a remote town on a mercy mission to… Read more

Python Signal Analysis Package GUI

Here is a signal analysis package GUI written using Tkinter: vibrationdata_gui_python.zip It is compatible with Python versions 2.7 to 3.3, and hopefully future 3.x versions. vibrationdata.py is the main script. The remaining scripts are supporting functions. These scripts demonstrate the use of multiple windows. *… Read more
