programm for fourier synthesis

[tim88]

hello together,

I'm studying mechanical engineering in Germany. For a project work I'm analysing vibrations of a rack and pinion actuator. to minimize the vibrations I'm adjusting the geometry of the pinion.

the programs that I'm using gives me a Fourier analysis of the vibration. so i have the frequency spectrum. but that i can compare different adjustments i need the maximum amplitude of the vibration. and i haven't found any program that can give me the maximum amplitude just by entering the Fourier coefficients.

you would help me allot, if such a program would be possible.

greetings from germany,
Tim

PS: let me know, if you don't understand my English. i do my very best, but speaking technical in English isn't that easy for me.

Please check out Fourier Synthesis or  EJS version of Fourier Synthesis, and let me know :Is it what you need?

[tim88]

the first link could be a basic for what i need.

my fourier coefficents reach from 0 to 10. In the first applet the highest possible value is 0.985. I also need the maximum aplitude in numbers. so that i can compare different results.

[Fu-Kwun Hwang]

That applet was written with JDK1.0.2. The source code is available as attachement file.
You can download it and modify it for your need!

[tim88]

OK, I will try but I never programmed anything before! So I first have to look for Java-code instructions...

Do you just need the above two chanegs? coefficient range and maximum amplitude?

[tim88]

yes, only those two changes. It would be great if you could do that for me.
If you have a technical problem I can propably help you sometime.

Did you check out EJS version of Fourier Synthesis?
It is almost the same as the first one but it has more options.

You can find out the coordinate of the wave if you click the mouse (and you can find out maximum amplitude easily).
The coefficient can be changed from -1 to 1. , but you can also change the over all amplitude (slider range from 1-20).
It means that the coefficient can be changed from -20 to 20.

[tim88]

yes I did. But after your explanations it is clear. yes I can use that tool, but there I have only the slidebars. It would be perfect if there where boxes to type in the values. like in the first link.

[tim88]

hi guys,

i just solved my problems with excel. so you don't have to put any further work in this applet.

thanks.

[Fu-Kwun Hwang]

I just added the javascript to EJS version so that you can set/get those values.
