    Finding the frequency of an arbitrary, time-varying load

    Thanks for the helpful reply, I appreciate it. What exactly does fft() give me? For instance, say I define my force vector as V=[2 6 2 9 10 3 . . . .] then plug in fft(V) in MATLAB. What is the physical significance of the resulting numbers? Are they the frequency of the data of the...

    Finding the frequency of an arbitrary, time-varying load

    Hi everyone, So I have time-varying force data. The force acts as a concentrated load. The force does not vary periodically/harmonically, it just has a general variation with time. My main question is: How do I determine the corresponding frequency of this force data? Also, if I'm...
