Deno 2.4 Brings Back deno bundle, Improves Dependency Management and Observability
Deno 2.4 brings back bundling, improves dependency updates and telemetry, and makes the runtime more practical for real-world JavaScript projects.
rainflow
is a Python implementation of the ASTM E1049-85 rainflow cycle counting
algorythm for fatigue analysis.
rainflow
is available on PyPI:
pip install rainflow
and on conda-forge:
conda install rainflow --channel conda-forge
See release notes in CHANGELOG.md
.
Let's generate a sample time series.
Here we simply generate a list of floats but rainflow
works
with any sequence of numbers, including numpy arrays and pandas Series.
from math import sin, cos
time = [4.0 * i / 200 for i in range(200 + 1)]
signal = [0.2 + 0.5 * sin(t) + 0.2 * cos(10*t) + 0.2 * sin(4*t) for t in time]
Function count_cycles
returns a sorted list of ranges and the corresponding
number of cycles:
import rainflow
rainflow.count_cycles(signal)
# Output
[(0.04258965150708488, 0.5),
(0.10973439445727551, 1.0),
(0.11294628078612906, 0.5),
(0.2057106991158965, 1.0),
(0.21467990941625242, 1.0),
(0.4388985979776988, 1.0),
(0.48305748051348263, 0.5),
(0.5286423866535466, 0.5),
(0.7809330293159786, 0.5),
(1.4343610172143002, 0.5)]
Cycle ranges can be binned or rounded to a specified number of digits using optional arguments binsize, nbins or ndigits:
rainflow.count_cycles(signal, binsize=0.5)
# Output
[(0.5, 5.5), (1.0, 1.0), (1.5, 0.5)]
rainflow.count_cycles(signal, ndigits=1)
# Output
[(0.0, 0.5),
(0.1, 1.5),
(0.2, 2.0),
(0.4, 1.0),
(0.5, 1.0),
(0.8, 0.5),
(1.4, 0.5)]
Full information about each cycle, including mean value, can be obtained
using the extract_cycles
function:
for rng, mean, count, i_start, i_end in rainflow.extract_cycles(signal):
print(rng, mean, count, i_start, i_end)
# Output
0.04258965150708488 0.4212948257535425 0.5 0 3
0.11294628078612906 0.38611651111402034 0.5 3 13
