What are tags?

I have multiple sets of about 32000 points each in an acceleration data set (with close time spacing), so I proposed, for each one, to calculate the integral to get velocity and do a second integration to get displacement. I looked up some old code from an earlier project, and it looks like this ydot=cumsum(y)*delt; ydot=ydot-mean(ydot); ydis=cumsum(ydot)*delt; ydis=ydis-mean(ydis); I know it's a crude integration but what I can't remember for the life of me is why did I do the mean correction? While I'm at it, if there's a fast trap. or other improvement I'd like to know about it. It must be fast.

Hi J A Llewellyn, > I know it's a crude integration but what I can't > remember for the life of me is why did I do the mean > correction? It's a good idea to comment your own code isn't it? You did the mean correction, because Velocity = Integral (acceleration) + Constant The Constant is your initial velocity V0. You don't know it, but what you know is that your velocity fluctuates around the zero, otherwise your structure will not be vibrating, it will be moving. That's why removing the mean has the effect of adjusting for your unknown initial conditions. If the data is to be used for frequency analysis, consider better to use Simpson's rule. It has a better frequency response (flat up to 0.2*Sampling frequency). Simpson's rule integration is performed with this: b = [1 4 1]/3; a = [1 0 -1]; z = filter(b,a,y)*delta; Hope this hepls. Boyko -On the USENET they seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Subject: Integration via cumsum From: J A Llewellyn Date: 31 Aug, 2001 11:22:52 Message: 3 of 3 Reply to this message Add author to My Watch List View original format Flag as spam

Thanks Boyko, I couldn't tolerate simpson's before but I'll try it again. Tony
