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 this, the base currents I and I are related in the opposite way that V and V are related, in that formula_31 The reason for this relation is for power conservation S = S The full load copper loss of a transformer in per-unit form is equal to the per-unit value of its resistance: formula_32 formula_33 Therefore, it may be more useful to express the resistance in per-unit form as it also represents the full-load copper loss. As stated above, there are two degrees of freedom within the per unit system that allow the engineer to specify any per unit
