First Time Poster Accelerometer Analysis

AI Thread Summary
To analyze data from a triaxial accelerometer, it is essential to understand the format of the data collected in the X-Y-Z directions. Calculating the absolute magnitude of G-force involves using the accelerometer's output to determine the acceleration experienced by the unit during vibration. A common approach is to take the ratio of the distance moved over time to derive acceleration. Clarifying the units of measurement will also aid in accurate analysis. Understanding these fundamentals will facilitate effective data interpretation for the first-time poster.

Hi All,

I'm a first time poster.

I have a lot of data in the X-Y-Z direction from a triaxial accelerometer that had been placed inside a network appliance to understand the accelleration experienced on the unit during induced vibration. Can anyone advise the best method for analyzing this data? How do I calculate the absolute magnitude of G for experienced on the unit given all directions of output vibration.

Thanks.

I don't know anything about this, so I don't think i can help you. Anyways, what kind of units is your data in? Looks like you would simply take the ratio of the distance moved and the time to get your acceleration, and hence your G force. Where exactly are you having the trouble?
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
