How do you calculate cummulative damage on a pump? It is fairly straight-forward with structural components through the use of Rainflow analysis, level-crossings, etc.. However with pumps, if you have real-time pressure, flow and temperature measurements, how do you combine them into a damage assessment? Thanks in advance!
