+ 2 releases
"Rainflow Counting" consists of four main steps:
1. Hysteresis Filtering
Packages
2. Peak-Valley Filtering
No packages published

3. Discretization

4. Four Point Counting Method:

Languages

C 83.4% * D
/ \ Closed, if min(B,C) >= min(A,D) &&
max(B,C) <= max(A,D)
B *<--/ Slope B-C is counted and removed from
residue
/ \ /
/ * C
\ /
* A

These steps are fully documented in standards such as

ASTM E 1049 "Standard Practices for Cycle Counting in Fatigue Analysis" [1]
This implementation uses the 4-point algorithm mentioned in [3,4] and the 3-point
HCM method proposed in [2] as well as the ASTM E 1049 (2011) standard in [1]. To
take the residue into account, you may implement a custom method or use some
predefined functions.

Features of this package

1. Modular architecture in two layers:
a) Module rainflow.c (with rainflow.h) holds all necessary functions for rainflow
counting and histogram extraction. You may select multiple optional features at

compile time:
RFC_MINIMAL : To use core functions for rainflow counting only (for porting to
µControllers for example).
RFC_TP_SUPPORT : Turning point storage.
RFC_HCM_SUPPORT : HCM algorithm (Clormann/Seeger).
RFC_ASTM_SUPPORT : ASTM E 1049 (2011) algorithm.
RFC_AT_SUPPORT : User defined amplitude transformation (Haigh diagram).
RFC_DH_SUPPORT : Damage history storage.
RFC_USE_DELEGATES : Delegates for various core functions to implement user
defined behavior.
RFC_GLOBAL_EXTREMA : Store global data extrema.
RFC_DAMAGE_FAST : Using lookup tables for damage and amplitude
transformation.
RFC_EXPORT_MEX : Export a mexFunction() to use the rainflow counting in
MATLAB (R).
Using COAN [[http://coan2.sourceforge.net/]] for example, you can tidy up the
code from unwanted features. (The minimal version of this package is created
using COAN with option RFC_MINMAL set.)
b) C++ wrapper rainflow.hpp encapsulates functions from rainflow.h in a
namespace and offers a template class Rainflow for object oriented access and
inheritance. This class also offers container class based turning point storage.
2. Streamable: You're able to count your data at once, as data packages or sample-
wise.
3. Class width fit to your needs. Dynamically increase class width, when needed.
(Needs turning point storage.)
4. Four point counting method, optionally HCM counting method
(Clormann/Seeger).
5. Woehler curve with up to two slopes, fatigue limit and omission.
6. Miners rule for damage accumulation (elementary, original, modified and
consequent).
7. In-time damage indicator (Miners' consequent rule).
8. In-time histograms: rainflow matrix, level crossing and range pair counting.
9. Turning points with hysteresis filtering. Turning points involved in a closed
hysteresis are marked as pairs, with its partial assigned damage. (Compact
history)
10. Look-up tables for damage calculation and amplitude transformation.
11. Amplitude transformation (Haigh diagram) according to FKM (symmetrical, non-
symmetrical or user defined).
12. Damage history (uncompressed)
13. Various methods on residual data:

According to DIN 45667

ASTM method (halfcycle, fullcycle)
Second run
HCM
14. Various function pointers to implement user defined behavior.
15. Conversions supporting RFM->LC, RFM->RP, RFM->Damage and RP->Damage
(original, elementar, modifiziert, konsequent).
