Compare the data before and after in the time domain using an XY Display
glyph.
Create frequency spectra of the time series data before and after filtering,
and overlay to assess the filters effects in the frequency domain.
Try changing filter parameters and recalculate.
Use data from demo\example1 directory.
Classifying a Signals Magnitudes
Amplitude Distribution
Commonly called time at level analysis.
Count how often channel magnitudes occur, or how much time is
spent at channel magnitudes.
Options include time at level, percent time at level, point count, and
probability density.
Hands-on Exercise
Inside the Amplitude Distribution glyph,
set:
AnalysisType = PercentTimeAtLevel
NumberOfBins = 50
View the resulting time at level
histogram with an XYDisplay. Notice
that the x-axis autoscales by default.
Change the following parameters in
Amplitude Distribution and recalculate:
HistogramSizing = MinMax
HistogramMin = 0
HistogramMax = 50
Attach a Data Values Display glyph to
view the time at level results in a table.
Calculate time at level for vehicle speed.
Use the data from demo\example5 directory.
Joint Distribution
For two channels:
Time at level, point count and probability
density options
For example, time at level means the
amount of time spent where both signals
are within a given range of values, in each
bin of the histogram.
For three channels:
Third signal can be used to increment the z-
axis
For example, engine torque, gear and
speed channels can be used to generate
cycles per combination of torque and gear.
Time at level of a constant velocity joints angle vs. torque
Joint distribution means time at level with 2 independent variables
instead of just 1.
Results are 3D and can be viewed with the Histogram Display glyph.
Suppose we need to simplify
these complicated multiaxial
loads down to a single load vector
for a lab test.
Is there a dominant loading
direction?
If so, how should lab test load be
oriented?
Case Study Joint Distribution
Two orthogonal hitch loads have been measured X and Y.
Z axis can represent time@level, or
can be weighted by load magnitude to
recognize the importance of high loads.
Conclusion: Yes, there is a common load vector orientation. These multiaxial loads
can be represented by a single applied load in the test lab.

Historically used for counting fatigue cycles, but has been largely
replaced by rainflow cycle counting.
Markov Counting
Count range between successive peaks and valleys.
Can be used for fatigue.
Does not model material memory like rainflow cycle counting.
A common technique that counts fatigue cycles in
time series data by looking for stress-strain
hysteresis loops
Accounts for fatigue material response with material
memory.
Stores cycles in a histogram.

Combining Tests, Events, or Runs
Combining Tests
Sometimes its necessary to calculate results for combinations of time
series tests.
Example: Whats the cyclic content of 4 different use cases, each with
different repeats or exposure times?
There are 3 methods of combining tests in GlyphWorks:
1. Time Series Input or Histogram Input glyph: CombineAllTests = True
2. ScheduleCreate app
3. Concatenation glyph
Combining Tests with the Time Series Input Glyph
Set CombineAllTests = True.
All tests are concatenated into a single virtual time series.
1 long combined test 4 separate tests
Combining Tests with the Time Series Input Glyph
Can use repeats when combining tests.
1 long combined test
4 separate tests
1 long combined test,
with repeats
ScheduleCreate App
Provides an interactive user interface to create
schedule files.
Schedule files are a way of combining multiple tests into a
composite or duty cycle of events with a number of repeats
for each event.
Output is saved as .sch.
Schedule files (for time series, multi-column, or histogram
data) are used in GlyphWorks just like any other test of data.
ScheduleCreate Application
Time domain behavior is set by Time
Series Input glyph properties.
Concatenate to create a new long time
series, or
Treat each event separately.
Carry event repeats as metadata.
Stress Life and Strain Life fatigue
glyphs can intelligently use time domain
schedules for damage summation.
Histogram domain behavior is set by
Histogram Input glyph properties.
Add counts to create a new schedule
histogram, or
Combine with methods for max or
mean values.
Max envelope of a set of PSDs
Average a set of time at level
histograms

Tips for Using GlyphWorks
Start small and test and gradually work your way up to a more complex process.
Use display glyphs at several stages during the process you can always delete
them later.
Use output glyphs only if you know the results are worth saving.
Rename glyphs to help explain what they do.
Use Info On Glyph to remind yourself why youre using a certain glyph.
Set up a display glyph to your tastes, then save as the default configuration so
new displays will look the same.
All pads have tooltips. Mouse over a pad to learn more about a pads contents.
Use copy, paste, and undo to your advantage.
Disabling individual pipes can be helpful when troubleshooting.
Full screen (F9 key) and workspace zoom features can increase the visible
workspace.
Many glyphs data types can be changed.
Example: Test Splitter accepts time series (blue) by default, but can be changed to any
other data type.

Using Metadata in Calculations
Using Metadata in Glyph Properties
Metadata can be used as glyph properties.
Available metadata are shown by picklist.
Example: Arithmetic glyph can remove the
mean from each channel by using #Mean#.
Channel references are not needed, but can
be used.
#Mean# = mean of every channel separately
#Chan1.Mean# = mean of channel 1
Metadata set name (for example, Attributes) is
not needed:
#Attributes.Mean# is the same as #Mean#
Any metadata can be used, like:
#Chan1.Rainflow1_Results.NumCycles#
Metadata are case INSENSITIVE and shown in
mixed case just to be easier to read.
Hands-on Exercise
Using rough_road_2passes.rsp data from demo\example5
directory, create a process to remove the mean from each
strain gage channel.
Test Splitter to find strain channels based on a channel title
containing strain, or y units equal to microstrain
Arithmetic glyph to subtract #Mean# from each channel
Display the results before and after this mean removal. How
are they different?
What does this difference mean in an engineering sense?
Overall Limits in Calculations
Set consistent histogram limits for all tests.
If multiple tests are used, overall limits can be available as metadata for
calculations.
In TSInput, set OverallLimits=True.
Then use metadata like OverallMax for histogram scaling.
OverallLimits=True
Advanced Use of Metadata
Functions are available for more advanced use of metadata.
Math functions for working with numeric metadata
max(a,b), degtorad()
Text functions for working with text metadata
trim(), replace(), mid()
Logical functions for decision making
If ((condition), true_value, false_value)
Example: If((#YUnits#==g),#SampleRate#/2,100)
Read more about these functions in the reference guide.
Glyph Reference Guide Common Glyph Functionality
Ways to Add or Change Metadata
Metadata is automatically stored to provide channel information and to record
results.
But sometimes users need to add or change metadata.
Four methods:
Metadata Generator glyph
Metadata Calculator glyph
Metadata Input glyph
Excel Input glyph
Useful project details that
might be helpful metadata
All of these glyphs need a Metadata Manipulation glyph to merge the new
metadata into existing data.
Metadata Generator Glyph
Easily pass metadata into a process.
Example: Get user input for test engineer and rolling radius.
User can focus on providing the right inputs and not worry about what glyphs use
them in calculations.
Metadata Calculator Glyph
Calculate or create new
metadata:
TestLocation = Desert
proving grounds
TestDuration =
#NumPoints# /
#SampleRate#
Modify existing metadata:
ChanTitle = Left front
vertical acceleration
Metadata can be channel-
or test-specific
Metadata Input Glyph
Spreadsheet-style form for metadata entry
Change existing channel metadata, like channel name.
Add new channel metadata, like offset, Kf, etc.
Click to edit existing
metadata.
Enter new metadata.
Same channels,
but new metadata
Excel Input Glyph
Read metadata from Microsoft Excel spreadsheets.
Test- or channel-specific metadata
By default, metadata appear under the set name ExcelInput1, like ExcelInput1.Kf.
Excel Input for Channel Metadata
This fatigue process uses channel-specific material, Kf, and scale factor
inputs in the Strain-Life glyph.
Pass metadata into
time series data.
Use metadata in
calculations.
#ExcelInput1.Kf#
Metadata
Channel number or name in Excel is
used as a lookup. Any channel of this
number or name will have that rows
metadata attached to it.
Excel Input for Test Metadata
This process attaches test-specific metadata to the appropriate data file.
The Excel spreadsheet contains run comments, description, ballast condition, etc,
for each data file.
Match up metadata
with time series
data by test name.
Test metadata will
change if a different
data file is used.
Testname in Excel is used as a lookup.
Any data file of this name will have that
rows metadata attached to it.
Metadata
Comparison of Ways to Add or Change Metadata

Reminder: All of these glyphs need a Metadata Manipulation glyph to merge
the new metadata into existing data.
Hands-on Exercise
Using test01.s3t data from demo\example3 directory, create rainflow
histograms using the default settings.
Look at metadata before and after the rainflow glyph. What metadata
describe the run duration?
Normalize the rainflow results by the duration of the original time
series to get cycles per hour. Hint: Use the Arithmetic glyph.

GlyphWorks Crack Growth
What if a Crack Exists?
K describes the severity of the stress field.
Y is the geometry factor
relating stress concentration
to crack shape and length.
a = length of crack.
Stress o from strain gage
or FE of un-cracked
component
a Y K = t o a Y K = t o
Unstable brittle fracture occurs when the applied K exceeds K
1c
, a material property.
An existing crack results in very high stresses so high that another
parameter called stress intensity factor (K) is needed to describe its severity.

GlyphWorks Frequency
Frequency Product Option
The Frequency product option provides additional frequency capability
beyond PSDs and filtering.
Applications could include:
Engine run-up vibration analysis using waterfall plots
Basic acoustic assessment using octave analysis
Vehicle ride quality analysis using ISO 2631 standard
Transfer function analysis such as seat vibration transmissibility
Joint Time Frequency Analysis
Shows how the frequency content varies with time.
Particularly well-suited to analyzing short duration or transient events such as door
slams and braking events.
40 Hz steady vibration
from engine
18 Hz transient vibration
from wheel hop
Waterfall Analysis
Performs rotating machinery
vibration analysis and creates
waterfall data representing a
sequence of frequency spectra.
Add active cursors to the display
to show X, Y or order slices shown
in linked display.
See GlyphWorks Worked Example #9.
Analyzes the frequency
content as the speed of
rotation changes.
Order Tracking Filter
Filter on order rather than a frequency band.
Order filtering uses a speed channel to set filter characteristics.
Example: Remove the once-per-rev (1
st
order) wobble from an unbalanced shaft.
Retain or remove an order from time series data.
Remove 1
st
order
1
st
order gone
Octave Analysis
Calculates RMS levels in octave and third octave
bands (plus 1/6, 1/12 and 1/24 fractional octave
bands).
Two types of input:
PSD spectral results are re-binned into octave
bands.
Time series data are filtered using multiple
Butterworth filters as per ANSI S1.11 2004
standard.
Weighting functions:
Acoustic weighting functions are built in for dB
A, B, C noise weighting.
Ride quality weighting functions are built-in for
ISO 2631/1 whole-body vibration Wk, Wd, Wf
weighting.
User defined weighting
See GlyphWorks Worked Example #12.
Weighting Filter
How does the body respond to vibration?
Weighting Filter glyph applies Noise A,B,C (ANSI S1.42-2001) and six vibration weightings
(ISO 2631-1) to time series data to create weighted time series data output.
RMS of this weighted acceleration is an important metric for human perception of vibration.
Also includes ISO 5349 for hand and arm vibration.
Example weighting positions
Frequency Response Analysis
A typical frequency spectrum is just a measure
of output energy.
The next step is to understand output relative
to input.
This ratio is also called gain.
Performs single input single output
frequency response analysis.
Calculated outputs include:
Gain (output/input)
Phase
Coherence
Etc.
Input magnitude I
Phase
Response magnitude O
Gain = O/I
How well does an isolation mount reduce vibration?

Analysis of Rotating Machinery
Analysis of Rotating Machinery
Gears, shafts, pumps, and other rotating components experience stress
or vibration per revolution not per time.
It can be beneficial to look at time series data in a periodic fashion.
Waterfall analysis and order tracking can be useful, as discussed in the
previous section.
This section will cover other techniques beyond waterfall analysis.
Periodic Display
Display glyphs have a periodic mode that plots periods of time or
revolution together.
A time-based period is useful if rotational speed is constant.
Continuous time domain Periodic 0.05 sec time domain
Periodic Statistics
Running Statistics glyph can calculate periodic statistics.
For example, calculate max and min cylinder pressure for each full
firing cycle in an engine.
Max
Individual cycles
Min
Resampling Out of the Time Domain
Position-based Resampling
Convert data from the time domain to the revolutions domain.
Useful when rotational speed varies
Data is not periodic in the time domain.
Data becomes periodic in the revs domain.
After conversion, periodic plotting can be done according to revolutions.
Example: plot 4-cycle engine data with a 2-rotation period
