About vibtoolbox

Vibtoolbox is a set of command line tools for analysis of vibration and acoustic test data. The interface design used for most of the tools in the package is the standard UNIX filter model. The tools take input on standard input and transform the input in some fashion, and then send the transformed input data to standard output. The tool set also defines ASCII and native binary database formats for storage of vibration and acoustic laboratory and flight test data.

Vibtoolbox was started in 2003 by Greg Rudd, out of the need to have a set of tools to handle vibration and acoustic test data in a general and portable way. An important goal of the project was that the code for the analysis tools would be self contained and easy to port and maintain on different UNIX operating systems.

 


System of units

The programs in this package are designed to work with SI absolute units, US absolute units, and US gravitational units. The programs do not work with the US engineering system of units that require a additional factor to be included in the relation between force and mass. Any consistent units may be used in the programs. This means that all parameters must be expressed in the same units within the program. Examples of consistent units that work in these programs are:

     ------------------------------------------------------
     System  Force        Length         Mass        Time
     ------------------------------------------------------
     SI      kilonewton   meter          kilogram    second
     SI      newton       millimeter     kilogram    second
     US      pound-force  inches         lbf-s^2/in  second
     US      pound-force  foot           slug        second
     US      poundal      foot           pound       second

 


Primer and example analysis

The vibtoolbox utilities are used like other standard UNIX command line utilities. Standard output from one program can be passed to standard input of an another program via UNIX pipes. Also the programs process input and output data using UNIX I/O redirection. The programs in the package use a subset of the gnuplot data format for the STDIN and STDOUT streams. The utilities handle commend line options using the getopt utility.

For example lets see how we would use the filters to analysis some flight test time history data.

Assume for the example we have the flight data stored in the vibtoolbox ASCII database format.

The ASCII data can then be packed to native binary format using:

     packdb flights channels < DATABASE > DATABASE.BIN
     
     Where:
     flights         is a list of flight conditions to process
     channels        is a list of channels to process
     DATABASE        is the input ASCII database
     DATABASE.BIN    is the output binary database

Note flight conditions and channels are input using a colon operator to

     for example:
     1,2,10:15,6 would expand to 1,2,10,11,12,13,14,15,6

To read a time record from the binary database use:

     breaddb conditions channels < DATABASE.BIN > TimeHistory
     
     Were TimeHistory contains the extracted time history in gnuplot format.

Calculate basic properties of the time history record using:

     checkth < timehistory
     
     Sample output is:
     
     #BLOCK Flight = 23 Channel = 12104
     Samples per Second =                      5998.784
     Standard Deviation Sample Rate =             0.167
     Maximum signal level =                     266.659
     Minimum signal level =                    -266.667
     Signal duration =                           60.012
     Number of samples =                         360000
     Signal standard deviation =              5.932e+01
     Signal mean =                            2.257e-01
     Crest factor =                           4.496e+00

Calculate autospectral density of the time history using:

     asd PointsPerSegment NumberOfAverages < TimeHistory > AutoSpectralDensity

Calculate autospectral density without writing out the time history to a file using:

     cat DATABASE.BIN | breaddb conditions channels | asd PointsPerSegment NumberOfAverages > AutoSpectralDensity

The vibtoolbox tools can be used with other UNIX utility's on the command line. For example to add calculation of RMS signal level to the above calculation use:

     cat DATABASE.BIN | breaddb conditions channels | asd PointsPerSegment NumberOfAverages | tee ASD.OUT | rms > RMS.OUT
     
     autospectral density is stored in file ASD.OUT using the UNIX tee command.
