D. FORMULAE FOR RESULTS

D.1. BASIC RESULTS – RMS, VDV, CRF, OVL, PEAK, P-P, MTVV

NOTATION

T- measurement time
TE - exposure time (period during which a person is exposed to the action of vibration).
T0 - period equal to 8 hours (28 800 seconds)
τ- detector time constant (τ =1s)
a W (t ) - the temporary value of the measured vibration with the weighting filter W (e.g. Wd) on
the input of the RMS detector
p W (t ) - the temporary value of the measured vibration with the weighting filter W (e.g. Wd) on the
output of the RMS detector calculated from the equation:
1
1 t t −t  2
p W (t ) =  ∫ a 2W (t x ) exp x dt x 
τ  τ  
 −∞ 
where:
tx - time (variable of the integration)

For RMS, VDV, PEAK, PEAK-PEAK, MTVV results when saved in the logger T is equal to logger step

For RMS, VDV, PEAK, PEAK-PEAK, MTVV results when saved as the main results T is equal to
measurement period value

CRF
The Crest Factor value is obtained from the proportion PEAK/RMS.

OVL
The Overload presents the percentage of the time the input signal was overloaded.

PEAK
The PEAK value is calculated for the given T as follows:

PEAK = max T a W (t )

P–P
The Peak to Peak result is calculated as follows:

P − P = max T (0, a W (t )) − min T (0, a W (t ))

MTVV
The Maximum Transient Vibration Value is defined (according to the ISO 8041 standard) as:

MTVV = max T (p W (t ))
