How to conversion of Acceleration FFT to Velocity?

23 views (last 30 days)
Dear friends
I have accerelation of vibration data from the device, I need to convert it into velocity. I've tried several times and still stuck, I can't import that data into the formula/function. I've attached an excel file I got from the device. maybe you can download and see the excel files for complete information. Could you guys help me, what function/formula should I write? Thank You

Perhaps something like this —
T1 = readtable('https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/994900/fantest.xlsx%20-%20Sheet2.xlsx', 'VariableNamingRule','preserve')
T1 = 717×6 table

VN = T1.Properties.VariableNames;
t = T1.hours;
x = T1.('axis x');
y = T1.('axis y');
z = T1.('axis z');
vel = cumtrapz(t,[x y z]);
velt = sqrt(sum(vel.^2,2));

Fs = 1;
V = lowpass(T1.Voltage, 0.015, Fs);
I = lowpass(T1.Current, 0.015, Fs);

The ‘z’ velocity appears to be integrating a constant, so correcting for that would likely be appropriate, since it is unlikely that a constant acceleration leading to a linearly-increasing velocity is what is actually being recorded here.
I doubt that taking the Fourier transform of the velocity would be very revealing, so I did not do it here.

Why script is error in line7 ?
vel = cumtrapz(t,[x y z]);

My code threw no errors.
I have no idea what the problem could be.

The new convertVibration function in MATLAB R2024a release of the Predictive Maintenance Toolbox lets you compute baseline-corrected and filtered acceleration, velocity, and displacement signals from vibration measurements using a single sensor output from either an accelerometer, velocity sensor, or displacement sensor.
