Vibration fatigue of a vibration fatigue analysis is the modal analysis, that exposes the natural modes and frequencies of the vibrating structure and enables accurate prediction of the local stress responses for the given excitation. Only then, when the stress responses are known, can vibration fatigue be successfully characterized. The more classical approach of fatigue evaluation consists of cycle counting, using the rainflow algorithm and summation by means of the Palmgren-Miner linear damage hypothesis, that appropriately sums the damages of respective cycles. When the time history is not known, because the load is random ("e.g." a car on a rough road or
Per-unit system use the nominal voltage 138 kV as the base voltage formula_23. We then have: If, for example, the actual voltage at one of the buses is measured to be 136 kV, we have: The following tabulation of per-unit system formulas is adapted from Beeman's "Industrial Power Systems Handbook". It can be shown that voltages, currents, and impedances in a per-unit system will have the same values whether they are referred to primary or secondary of a transformer. For instance, for voltage, we can prove that the per unit voltages of two sides of the transformer, side 1 and side 2,
