duration

Calculates the cumulative duration for response values, given the X and Y input data vectors. The duration will be partitioned into 100 segments.

Syntax

duration(time_vector, response_vector, mode, [debug])

Arguments

time_vector: Time vector of data to analyze (seconds)
response_vector: The dependent vector of data to analyze.
mode: mode = 0; Return X axis values.; mode = 1; Return Y axis values.
[debug]: Flag to turn on debug mode (prints to Message Log), optional (default = off).

Example

duration(p1w1c1.x, p1w1c1.y, 1)

Comments

The load duration criterion is a method for assessing the occupant’s injury based on the magnitude and duration of the load. The data is processed to create a load vs. duration plot.
