|
|
|
|
* TimeSeries:
|
|
|
|
|
Data analysis of time series. Example: extraction of turning points,
|
|
|
|
|
estimation of spectrum and covariance function. Estimation transformation
|
|
|
|
|
used in transformed Gaussian model.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* CovData:
|
|
|
|
|
Computation of spectral functions, linear and non-linear time series
|
|
|
|
|
simulation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* SpecData:
|
|
|
|
|
Computation of spectral moments and covariance functions, linear and
|
|
|
|
|
non-linear time series simulation. Ex: common spectra implemented,
|
|
|
|
|
directional spectra, bandwidth measures, exact distributions for wave
|
|
|
|
|
characteristics.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* CyclePairs:
|
|
|
|
|
Cycle counting, discretization, and crossings, calculation of damage.
|
|
|
|
|
Simulation of discrete Markov chains, switching Markov chains,
|
|
|
|
|
harmonic oscillator. Ex: Rainflow cycles and matrix, discretization of
|
|
|
|
|
loads. Damage of a rainflow count or matrix, damage matrix, S-N plot.

==========
|
|
|
|
|
To test if the toolbox is working paste the following in an interactive
|
|
|
|
|
python session::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
import wafo as wf
|
|
|
|
|
wf.test(coverage=True, doctests=True)
